Comments & Discussion

Gaspar Genaro
One of the best Scotch cocktails I've ever tried. Although I'm not a fan of whisky, I love ginger and hazelnut, and all the ingredients played to their strengths.

I also tried it in a rocks glass with 75ml of aged Scotch whisky, 15ml of Frangelico, and swapped the butterscotch for demerara sugar syrup — I thought it was even better.
