The Rusty Nail pairs blended Scotch whisky with Drambuie, a honey-and-herb liqueur, for a slow-sipping drink that leans sweet and smoky in equal measure. Served over ice in a rocks glass, it comes together in minutes with no shaking or straining required, making it a reliable choice for an evening nightcap.

- 3/4 ounces Drambuie
- 1 lemon twist, for garnish (optional)
- 4 ice cubes
Method

-
Garnish with a lemon twist, if desired, and serve.
