This July we’re taking a look at some of the most well-known whisky cocktails out there! Each week we will have a cocktail to fit with one of the five Scottish whisky producing regions. So stay tuned for our Friday Night Cocktails and give them a try yourself!
Highland whiskies have a variety of different characteristics, from floral notes to salty, coastal flavours.
Rob Roy (Scotch Manhattan)
Ingredients
1 shot sweet vermouth

Recipe
Gather all the ingredients together.
Grab a mixing glass and fill it up with ice, before pouring in the whisky, vermouth and bitters.
Stir together well for around 20 seconds.
Find yourself a chilled cocktail glass and strain the liquid into it.
To serve, garnish with your maraschino cherry and enjoy!
