Description

The Rusty Nail is a classic whisky cocktail that combines Scotch whisky with Drambuie, a Scottish liqueur made from whisky, honey, herbs, and spices. This drink became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly in New York high society, though its origins may date back to the 1930s.

The Rusty Nail is simple yet sophisticated, offering a smooth, slightly sweet, and smoky profile. It is an excellent choice for whisky lovers who appreciate a subtly complex drink with herbal and honeyed undertones.

• Ice cubes
• Lemon twist for garnish (optional)
