Enjoyed over ice, this boozy cocktail was served strong and only in the evening hours.
Id argue it still makes for a great wind-down drink.
But dont let that prevent you from making this classic drink.

Pairing it with a bold, smoky scotch gives balance to its sweet flavor.
While a blended scotch is always best for mixing, they dont all perform the same here.
A very mild scotch wont provide the contrast neededId lean towards a smokier scotch for a richer experience.

Try The Famous Grouse Smoky Black for a great balance of smoke with a smooth taste.
Add the bitters (if using).
Stir to chill and dilute the drink for about 20 seconds.
