Drink of the Week: The Rusty Nail

Posted by Martin Balerdi On October - 7 - 2009

I love the Rusty Nail, it;s basically scotch on ice but with a  little extra kick. It’s made with scotch whiskey and half as much Drambuie, which is basically a honey- and herb-flavored golden scotch whiskey made from aged malt whiskey heather honey and a secret blend of herbs and spices. So you’re basically pouring two different types of whiskey on ice, one just happens to be flavored. The flavor of the Drambuie suggests saffron, honey, anise, and nutmeg. This has to probably be one of the easier cocktails you will ever make. You also have to love the name, rusty nail is something people are going to remember. A great way to get  cocktail to stand out and catch attention is to give it a catchy-sounding name. A good name will get people to be a little more enthusiastic about their cocktail and this in turn leads them to remember which hip and sophisticated gentleman whipped it up for them. Making drinks like this is a great way to get a solid reputation among your friends as a master bartender.
