Rusty Nail image

A great 2-ingredient cocktail with an ugly name, the Rusty Nail was originally made with a not-very-good blended Scotch and Drambuie in equal parts, which made for an overly sweet cocktail.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.

Time 2m

Yield 1 serving

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.

This cocktail is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cocktail turned out really watery.

This cocktail is really easy to make, but it doesn't taste like anything special.

I think this cocktail would be better with a different type of whisky. The Scotch whisky I used was too smoky for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cocktail didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture. It was too sour.

This cocktail is a bit too strong for my taste, but it's still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of cocktails, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet or too strong, and it has a really nice flavor.

This cocktail is perfect for a winter night. It's warm and comforting, and the citrusy flavor of the lemon twist is really refreshing.

I've never been a fan of Scotch whisky, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The Drambuie and lemon juice really balance out the smokiness of the whisky.

This cocktail is a great way to use up leftover Scotch whisky.

I love the smoky flavor of the Scotch whisky in this cocktail. It pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the Drambuie and the tartness of the lemon juice.

I've tried this recipe and it was absolutely delicious! The combination of Scotch whisky, Drambuie, and lemon juice is perfect, and the garnish of lemon twist adds a nice touch of citrus.
