The Rob Roy

Some people say Scotch is too good to mix with other things. But I don't really agree with those people. I'd argue it's too good not to utilize in the right cocktail. Of course, Scotch can be a tricky ingredient for mixing. A lot of cocktails that call for Scotch suggest a good blend instead of a single malt, and a nice blended Scotch has a mix of malt and smoke along with a layer of subtle herbal flavors. You don't want all those distinct flavors to get lost in a muddy mix, but there are a few great cocktails that show off Scotch well. None more than the classic Rob Roy. Essentially a variation on a Manhattan, it's a great drink for those looking to dip their toe into the world of Scotch. Plus it is an easy drink you can make for yourself or someone special at the end of the night.
