Arnaud's Special
Chocolatey notes emerge from this Rob Roy-like cocktail

This is quite a nice aperitif. We cut some strips of orange peel and shook this vigorously to release the oils. It added a fruity note to what is a surprisingly dry, martini-like cocktail.

Was looking for a different Scotch Whisky cocktail for a Burn's Night aperitif. This was perfect. The Whisky flavour was in the forefront with some herbal notes. Slight pepper, spice, and chocolate taste

Needs a decent amount of dilution on the stir. A good, vintage-style drink.
Monkey Shoulder Scotch.
Laphroaig Scotch.
Dubonnet.
Amer Picon.
Apricot Liquor.
Garnish was a thick orange peel and a large cube.
The Monkey Shoulder is not peaty, and the Laphoraig is, so the overall intensity is subtle.
I think that this recipe is better than the one listed!
