I have never been a big Scotch drinker, although Icertainly appreciate the complexity of flavors. I feel that it works wonderfully as a cocktail ingredient, adding asmokiness and depth that many traditional cocktails lack.This following recipe is for 1 cocktail.
Ingredients
2ozhigh-quality Scotch
¾ozSweet Vermouth
¾ozDry Vermouth
1TbspMaraschino cherry juice
1ozGinger beer
1Maraschino cherry(as garnish)
Instructions
Combine the Scotch, Sweet Vermouth, Dry Vermouth, and Maraschino cherry juice in a shaker tin with ice.
Shake for 10 seconds, or until the ingredients are fully chilled.
Strain the cocktail into a Martini glass.
Top with chilled Ginger Beer, and garnish with the Maraschino cherry.
Notes
You can add more ginger beer if you want to make this drink a bit less powerful.
