Review

Nutty coconut nestles harmoniously with Scotch whiskey and liquorice-forward amaro. Orange zest adds vitality and freshness.

Very good cocktail - the scotch notes lead, but the Lucano jumps in quickly and really works well complementing the scotch. And while the coconut water isn't individually prominent, it works very well with the scotch and Lucano. Better than a Rob Roy, IMO. Although I prefer the Nutty Tom cocktail (has a gin base instead of scotch) - but that could change on my mood. Easy to make - highly recommended.

Would it make sense to link this with your Nutty Tom as variants since they're same ingredients with base spirit swapped (and ratio adjusted)?

Thanks, Peter. I've added links as you suggest.
