Rob Roy (Scotch Manhattan) Cocktail Recipe
The Rob Roy is essentially a Scotch Manhattan. It will be a slightly less sweet version of a classic Manhattan. In my case, it displayed sweet, subtle smoke with honeyed fruit on the palate, courtesy of the Pure Scot Whisky.

How to make a Rusty Nail
Drambuie's intriguing spices and honey play an integral role in this simple recipe. Personally I like it a little sweeter so I'm a little more heavy handed with the Drambuie, utilising a 2:1 ratio. If you prefer it less sweet, use a 2:1 (whisky:Drambuie) ratio.
