RUSTY NAIL

A great 2-ingredient cocktail with an ugly name, the Rusty Nail was originally made with a not-very-good blended Scotch and Drambuie in equal parts, which made for an overly sweet cocktail. This version is sophisticated and something much more enjoyable, made with a single-malt.

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ounce Aberfeldy 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
1/2 ounce Drambuie
Ice

Steps:

  • Chill a mixing glass, and add a large ice cube to an Old Fashioned glass or rocks glass for serving. Add Drambuie into the mixing glass. Add the Scotch. Add several ice cubes, and stir for 20 seconds. (Do not shake; stirring will maintain the clarity as it chills the liquor.) Strain over the large cube into the chilled rocks glass.

Tips for Making a Perfect Rusty Nail Cocktail:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice and Drambuie. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cocktail.
  • Chill your glass: Before you make your Rusty Nail, chill your glass by filling it with ice and water. This will help to keep your cocktail cold and refreshing.
  • Use a good quality Scotch whisky: The Scotch whisky is the main ingredient in a Rusty Nail, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a Scotch that is smooth and has a good flavor.
  • Don't over-stir: When you're stirring your Rusty Nail, don't over-stir it. Stir it just enough to combine the ingredients. Over-stirring can make the cocktail cloudy.
  • Garnish with a lemon twist: When you're serving your Rusty Nail, garnish it with a lemon twist. This will add a touch of flavor and elegance to your cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Rusty Nail is a classic cocktail that is easy to make and delicious to drink. It's perfect for any occasion, whether you're having a party or just relaxing at home. So next time you're looking for a great cocktail to make, give the Rusty Nail a try. You won't be disappointed!
