Method

Ice

Fill a mixing glass with ice cubes.  

Pour

Using a jigger, measure 50ml Blended Scotch Whisky and 25ml Drambuie into the glass.

Mix

With a bar spoon stir the mixture. With a strainer, strain into a short glass.

Garnish

With a chopping board and sharp knife, slice a piece of lemon peel and place in glass to garnish.

Step 5

Get some grub in before or while you’re drinking – it slows alcohol absorption.
