They feel warm and tingly, and harvesty because of all the flavours of the Drambuie. Do 'em up with a cheaper blended scotch imo tho. Not only saves money, but it just works out better for the cocktail tbh. Ballentines is my fav, or Famous Grouse...which Costco basically sells cheap as heck as an off-brand thing that's absolutely perfect for Rusty Nails. We already have a rusty nail at work but I appreciate it! We don’t have a scotch per se but two single malt whiskeys that are approximately similar in some ways to one and one of them we are releasing in the next month so I was thinking of coming up with a cocktail right off the bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were good, but I can't replicate at home. It is good if you just mix the Scotch and Frangelico though. Sounds good and simple I’ll definitely look into it to see if it’s a viable drink. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or decent kinda unique and pretty simple cocktails you like featuring whiskey? Or fall themed fall drinks that preferably don’t feature pumpkin spice lol I don't have any for Scotch, or a single malt, since those are usually served neat. I do know a strong, herbal, easy to make, whiskey drink that seems like it would work for fall Louisiane (or a la Louisiane, or Cocktail a la Louisiane) 1oz Rye 1oz Benedictine 1oz Sweet Vermouth .25oz Absinthe 4 dashed Peyschaud's bitter Stir with ice, pour into a coupe glass Garnish with 3 Luxardo cherries on a toothpick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have everything but the Benedictine so I imagine this would definitely be doable. Sounds like it’d be good aged in a 5 gallon barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very good, but I am all over the place on ratio. The nutty taste is somewhere in the fall/winter range to me if that makes sense. Let me know how it goes and what you think.

What kind of place did you work where you never made classic cocktails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I made one rusty nail ever while bartending and that was a joke drink for a 21st bday. How is a rusty nail an "old people" drink? I recognize that despite my age, i'm probs better suited to live in the 1940s, but they're still amazing in the year 2019. They need propagation, not old people shaming. The most embarrassing thing, is the bartender who can't make a good rusty nail. Literal stock and trade is delivering cocktails, can't do it? Or shames people for ordering it? Booo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked they don't sell organic, free trade, non-GMO, single origin, deconstructed bulletproof mushroom cold brew. And if your coffee shop isn't communally owned, carbon neutral and built from 100% reclaimed materials, while also selling used records and bike parts, what is even the point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Russians I call a joke. If a customer orders a White Russian or a vodka this and that I figure they don’t know much about alcohol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
