Why is it that scotch always seem to be left alone in the bar scene? It
is understandable that most people find scotch to harsh to drink while
dancing the night away but could it not be introduced in some mild cocktails?
Generally it is assumed that the sweeter drinks tend to give you the staying
power on the dance floor as it is usually loaded with sugar.
Sugar is not an ingredient that one would associate with scotch and many
of the clubbers will shy away from the so called old mans drink. Yet they
really do not understand the potential that scotch in small doses in sweet
drinks can have. It can liven up the party in a relatively short amount
of time.
Of course there are the few drinks out there that may inspire a look into
by the up and coming yuppies that are trying to mature. One of these mild
scotch drinks is the Rusty Nail. This wonderful drink contains 1 ½ oz of
scotch, ½ oz of Drambuie and a twist of peel from a lemon. This drink forgoes
the common rule of no ice with your scotch, as the glass should be filled
almost to the brim with cubes. Then the Drambuie and scotch are poured
in together stirred vigorously and garnished with the peel. This makes
a delightful small mixed drink that is much easier on the throat as well
as the stomach than straight scotch.
Another popular drink is the whiskey sour. This drink is open to enjoyment
by all classes and generations. This drink contains 2 oz of blended whiskey,
the juice of half a lemon, ½ tsp of powdered sugar, one cherry and a half
slice of lemon. Again this drink is easy to make. Shake the blended whiskey,
the powdered sugar and the lemon juice with ice then strain into a whiskey
sour glass. Lastly, top with the cherry and garnish the drink with the
lemon slice.
Another great drink that the younger crowd may enjoy is the Rob Roy.
This is a very simple drink that is relished by many and is very short
on the prep time so you can be back on the dance floor in no time flat.
This drink contains 1 ½ oz of scotch whiskey and ¾ oz sweet vermouth. You
merely stir contents with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
