Description
The Bobby Burns is a classic cocktail dedicated to the Scottish national poet, Robert Burns. It is closely related to the Manhattan and the Rob Roy but is distinguished by the addition of Bénédictine, a French herbal liqueur. This ingredient gives the drink a distinctive, subtle sweetness and a complex honey-herbal note that harmonizes wonderfully with the smoky Scotch and the spicy vermouth. An elegant and warming drink for discerning connoisseurs.
Preparation
- Fill a coupe glass with ice to pre-chill it.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
- Stir for about 30 seconds until well-chilled.
- Discard the ice from the cocktail glass.
- Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the chilled glass.
- Express a lemon peel over the drink and add it to the glass as a garnish.
