Scotch Whisky

Scotch whisky cocktails

Three Scotch mixed drinks: Penicillin, Rusty Nail, and a Scotch Sour — not bourbon Old Fashioneds.

Scotch whisky cocktails here are the three recipes that name Scotch, not a bourbon sour with the labels swapped. A blended bottle covers the Scotch Sour (Scotch, lemon, sugar) and the Rusty Nail (Scotch and Drambuie). The Penicillin is Scotch, lemon, honey-ginger syrup, and a peated float — that second smoky dram is its own pantry key. Bourbon and rye drinks stay on the whiskey hubs.

Scotch Whisky cocktail FAQ

What scotch whisky cocktails can I make at home?

Scotch Sour, Rusty Nail, and Penicillin. The Sour is the easy citrus build; Rusty Nail is two ingredients on a rock; Penicillin wants honey-ginger syrup and a peated float.

Is a Scotch Sour the same as a whiskey sour?

Same template — spirit, lemon, sugar — but this catalog keeps Scotch as its own bottle. A bourbon Whiskey Sour will not mark the Scotch Sour ready. What to mix with Scotch for the Sour is lemon and a sweetener; skip the egg white unless you want a foam cap.
