When single-malts were a novel idea

Several years ago my favorite way to enhance cheap blends was to make it a Rusty Nail - add Drambuie. It is a nice drink, but clearly not for every day.

Only because the Drambuie is so expensive, (it costs more than Dewars,) Drambuie is still my favorite with blended scotch. I have read recently that a Rusty Nail was Frank Sinatra's drink of choice,..................he could afford it.

Cheers,

David

A teaspoonful of heather honey mixed into a dram is the simple alternative to Drambuie - and with equal measures of hot water it makes a delicious hot toddy.

And it cures all ailments known to man, I believe...

Add a squeeze of lemon and we called that a Bee Sting when I was in college.

And it was my grandmother's go-to for cold, cough, runny nose, etc. Mind you, there was never any "hard likker" in grandma's house, but when someone got a cold, cough, runny nose, etc. some mysteriously appeared.
