Description

The Wembley is a classic cocktail from the famous "Savoy Cocktail Book," named after a suburb of London. It is an elegant and surprisingly fruity drink based on Scotch whisky. The smoky notes of the Scotch are perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the apricot liqueur and the herbal dryness of the vermouth. A sophisticated and aromatic cocktail for lovers of classic, stirred drinks.

  2. Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
  3. Stir until the glass is well-frosted on the outside.
  4. Strain the contents into the chilled glass.
  5. Garnish with a thin orange slice.
