Basically, a Scotch Manhattan, the Rob Roy is as classic as an argyle sweater on a grandfather. My dad will still shakily enjoy one on Thanksgiving, pre turkey.

Not everyone is a Bourbon drinker, no matter how hard I try…and the Rob Roy is a nice alternative for the Scotch drinker tired of a 12 year old glen-something, neat. Sometimes, pretentious college professors and lawyers want a cocktail too (just kidding).

Here we go – 

  • 2 oz Scotch (the peatier the better)
  • Half an oz of Sweet Vermouth
  • Dash or two of Orange Bitters 

Shake with ice in a shaker, strain, ice-cold into a martini or cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.

  • You can really dress a Rob Roy up by adding a tsp. of Drambuie and a tsp of the maraschino cherry juice.
