Bobby Burns

What is more appropriate to drink on a cold winter's eve than a heart-warming cocktail? And if you want an extra excuse for taking a drink on the 25th of January, then remember it is Burns Night! So join the Scots in commemorating the birth of the famous Scottish poet and lyricist, Robert Burns, who was born on this day in 1759, and in whose memory this drink was created. "Auld Lang Syne" and "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" crop to mind once you get started on it.


4 cl Scotch whisky
1.5 cl sweet vermouth
0.5 cl Bénédictine
Stir ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.

This recipe lets the whisky dominate. Other recipes prescribe 1.5 cl Bénédictine to add extra sweetness and a spicier taste.
