Bobby Burns Recipe

  Scottish Beverage

Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces blended scotch whisky
1 1/2 ounces sweet vermouth
1/4 ounce benedictine
Lemon peel twist

Directions:
Shake the liquid ingredients vigorously with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Twist the lemon peel over the drink, and drop it in.
A variation on the Rob Roy, this scottish classic has a decidedly herbal note from Benedictine and is named after the poet who wrote 'Auld Lang Syne' and 'Coming Through the Rye'. For those who prefer Irish whisky, try the Brainstorm, made with 1/4 ounce dry vermouth instead of the sweet and a twist of orange peel instead of lemon.
