Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except the peel in a mixing glass and stir gently to chill as well as dilute the drink. Strain into a cocktail glass, twist the peel over the drink to release the oil and then drop it in. For a weaker drink, reduce the Scotch to 1 1/2 ounces. In some recipes the bitters are omitted or replaced with orange bitters.

- Garnish with a twist of lemon. A twist of lemon adds a fresh, citrusy flavor to the Rob Roy. It's also a classic garnish that looks great in a cocktail glass.
