Bobby Burns

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Blended Scotch e.g. Johnnie Walker, Famous Grouse
  • 45 ml Sweet vermouth e.g. Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torino
  • 7.5 ml Bénédictine
  • Garnish Lemon peel

Preparation

  1. Stir all ingredients with ice.
  2. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Don't know how? Pour the drink through a strainer (or the built-in strainer on your shaker) to catch the ice and any solids.
  3. Garnish with lemon peel. Use a peeler or knife to cut a wide strip, avoiding the white pith. Twist it over the drink to release the oils, then drop it in.
