Bobby Burns Cocktail Recipe
The Bobby Burns cocktail recipe is derived from the Rob Roy - which is essentially a Scotch Whisky Manhattan. By adding a hint of absinthe and orange bitters to a Rob Roy will create a variation known as a Robert Burns (named after a Scottish poet). Refine this recipe further by changing the absinthe to a larger measure of herbal Dom Benedictine will result in the Bobby Burns cocktail.I opted for a 2:1 recipe (2 parts Scotch Whisky, 1 part Sweet Vermouth) for a whisky-forward, slightly peaty and herbal tipple but of course tweak the ratios to your taste.
Ingredients
- 45 mL Scotch Whisky 1.5 oz
- 22.5 mL Sweet Vermouth 0.75 oz
- 10 mL Dom Benedictine 0.3 oz
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients into your mixing glass
- Stir with ice for 20-30 seconds
- Strain into a chilled stemmed cocktail glass
- Garnish with a twist of lemon or a maraschino cherry
