Tips:
- Choose the right Scotch whisky. A good Rob Roy starts with a good Scotch whisky. Look for a blended Scotch whisky that is at least 8 years old and has a smoky, peaty flavor.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice is essential for a refreshing Rob Roy. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter and harsh.
- Sweeten to taste. The amount of sugar or simple syrup you add to your Rob Roy is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Garnish with a lemon twist. A lemon twist adds a touch of elegance and freshness to your Rob Roy. To make a lemon twist, simply cut a thin strip of lemon peel off the lemon and twist it around your finger.
