Drambuie

[style from the heartland]

Anyone have a good recipe for this stuff ? Recently tried for the first time. Great mixer with ginger ale. Website has other recipes, including lots of hot toddys.

Anyone have a good recipe ? How about you Scotch connesieurs ? Rusty nail = Ice + mixing (Drambuie) with a SMS !!

ginger ale?! huh. I'm torn between vague disgust and even vaguer curiosity....

I pour a healthy slug into hot cocoa on a cold night. It's the perfect sit-by-a-fire drink.

Why would you (anyone) mix Drambuie with a single malt? JW Black is the perfect foil for that application.

There is also the Bobbie Burns (which Piobaire introduced me to) in which Drambuie is added to a Rob Roy, and the sweet vermouth is feathered back slightly.

Give a Rusty Nail a try sometime. Just use an adequate blended Scotch, perhaps one of the cheaper Johnny Walker labels, nothing exceptional.

I thought about ordering one when out last night, actually. Opted for a Godfather instead, which is a rather similar cocktail -- main difference being the use Amaretto instead of Drambuie.

When I purchased at the liquor store, a regular and frequent connesieur of the cheap mini vodkas started smiling and shaking his head standing next to me in line. I turned, chuckled at him and asked for his tip on mixes. He told me to "put it in some cola and serve it to your lady"!

I will admit to enjoying an occasional amaretto sour, but the neighborhood wino calling me out on drinking Buie was pretty funny.

Any other recipes ?
