I was surprised how good this is, even with a basic whisky like Naked Malt, plus Martell VS Cognac. I have been exploring (and liking) cocktails with cognac plus another spirit, and this is definitely going in my cocktail database.

More fruity than boozy, this was fun to drink. There's suprising complexity here what with the split shot and the regal shake. Perfect for a summery afternoon gathering. ☆☆☆☆♡

It's beautifully balanced but, for us, sat better in a Rocks Glass with ice.

I used Teelings Irish in place of blended Scotch and oh my goodness it was so good!!

A very nice and fruity Scotch Sour. I did not do the lemon twist regal shake though.

Simon - if cutting with simple syrup, can you specify how much simple to add and whether “cutting” means reducing the grenadine as well (and if so to what amount)? Thanks.
