Went old school for tonight's cocktail. It was a mid-century, old and probably bitter, suburban white man's staple back in the day:
The Rusty Nail
- 1 1/2 ounces blended Scotch (I went with the GOAT of alcoholic middle managers - Dewar's White Label)
- 1 ounce of Drambuie (I made the second one more dry, 2 ounces Scotch, and about a half ounce Drambuie, and, for my taste, it was much better)
- lemon wedge (with a slight squeeze)
Rocks, in a whiskey glass
If I wasn't ALREADY an angry white suburban middle-aged+ man, this would definitely make me feel the part.
I'm going to put some Sinatra* on the record player, and go out on the front porch and yell at kids.
*The Rusty Nail was the preferred cocktail of the Rat Pack, which pretty much contributed to it's popularity in the late 50's/early 60's
