Scotch meets Drambuie in this honeyed, herbal classic
🥃 Scotch WhiskyPopularized in the 1960s, especially among the Rat Pack crowd. The name's origin is murky – possibly from a drink originally stirred with a rusty nail, or from the color resembling rust.
This Scottish liqueur is made from aged Scotch, honey, herbs, and spices – the recipe is a closely guarded secret dating to the 18th century. Its name means "the drink that satisfies."
Classic recipes call for equal parts, but modern palates often prefer less Drambuie. Try 2:1 (Scotch to Drambuie) or even 3:1 if you like it less sweet.
Some prefer this stirred and served neat in a coupe for a more elegant presentation. Both methods work – it's about personal preference.
