The 411 on how to use Scotch-based Drambuie liqueur—beyond the Rusty Nail.
First created to serve in a Champagne Cocktail, this milk-washed Drambuie can be drunk on its own, served over ice.
Drambuie gets top billing in this tropical Collins from Jeffrey Morgenthaler, alongside pineapple, lime and Fernet Branca.
Jesse Duré describes this drink as “a Scotch and soda variation on a Rusty Nail, a little more refreshing and sessionable.”
Istanbul-based bartender Alex Waldman created this drink with the parameters of using limited citrus with a bitter liqueur to make something round, full and relatively dry.
