A Rusty Nail is made by mixing Drambuie and Scotch whiskey. The drink was included in Difford’s Guide’s Top 100 Cocktails. A Rusty Nail can be served in an old-fashioned glass on the rocks, neat, or “up” in a stemmed glass. It is most commonly served over ice.
The Rusty Nail is the ultimate in scotch cocktails and if you are interested in that style of whiskey, this is a drink you should be familiar with. The best part is that you can choose whichever Scotch whiskey you like and make it as top-shelf as you wish. Don’t worry, you will not be wasting a great Scotch by mixing it into a Rusty Nail.
The cocktail is very simple and it is the ideal drink of choice for any scotch lover. In it, you will simply mix Scotch and Drambuie over ice. It is designed to be a sophisticated, slow-sipping drink and in that regard, it is one of the best you will find.
