Rusty Nail
By richmondglobal online
A favourite amongst Scotch drinkers, the Rusty Nail brings together the warming flavours of Scotch whisky and Drambuie, a honeyed, herbaceous liqueur. Its origins are attributed to the 1930s, although the moniker "Rusty Nail" wasn't applied until the 1960s. The drink was reportedly popularised by the 21 Club in New York City, and it eventually found its way into the hands of the Rat Pack, the legendary group of entertainers. Their fondness for this cocktail significantly contributed to its worldwide fame.

- ¾ ounce Drambuie liqueur
How to make
