Cocktail Description
The Scotch Swirl is a sophisticated trio of flavors that dances between smoky whisky, herbal anise, and rich vermouth in perfect harmony.
This elegant cocktail combines the complex smokiness of Johnnie Walker Black Label with the sweet, herbaceous notes of Martini & Rossi Rosso and the distinctive anise character of Ricard Pastis. The result is a surprisingly balanced sipper with depth and intrigue - smoky and rich on first taste, followed by sweet botanical notes and a lingering licorice finish. It's remarkably simple to prepare, requiring just a brief stir with ice before straining into a chilled coupe glass, making it accessible even to novice home bartenders. The Scotch Swirl shines as an after-dinner drink on cool evenings or as a contemplative cocktail for serious conversations. Its bold flavor profile pairs beautifully with savory charcuterie, blue cheese, or dark chocolate desserts that can stand up to its intensity.
