Rusty Nail cocktail

Cocktail Description

The Rusty Nail cocktail is history in a glass, honoring the ancient diplomatic relationship between Scotland and France through two iconic Scottish spirits.

This sophisticated cocktail combines the smoky complexity of Johnnie Walker Black Label with the honeyed heather notes of Drambuie, creating a layered sipping experience that's surprisingly smooth yet wonderfully complex. Each sip delivers whisky's familiar warmth followed by Drambuie's herbal sweetness, making it perfect for contemplative evenings by the fire or as a digestif after a hearty meal. The Rusty Nail cocktail is remarkably simple to prepare—just two ingredients stirred with ice—making it an ideal introduction to whisky cocktails for those who find neat Scotch intimidating. This versatile drink pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes like blue cheese, smoked salmon, or dark chocolate desserts, the whisky cutting through fat while the Drambuie complements sweet elements.
