Not really sure which "blended scotch" to use in cocktails yet, so just used Johnnie Walker Black. The herbal notes with the scotch are interesting. I could see how this would pair well with something like haggis!

A barspoon of heavily peated whisky helps add a little more depth to this classic.

Is this the correct photo? In the recipe, it says that the garnish is a lemon zest twist, but in the photo is a maraschino cherry.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've corrected to say that the zest should be expressed and discarded before garnishing with the skewered cherry.

Very nice cocktail even with out the short bread. The Benedictine adds another flavourful layer to the cocktail.

Wow.. Fantastic Scotch cocktail.. The Benedictine enhances the cocktail rather than dominates, unlike Drambuie.

This was the last of the 4 for us to try. We had it on Burn's Night as our aperitif before the Haggis. We had also made a load of fresh shortbread, so we had the garnish. All 4 are outstanding.

What do you do with the lemon?

Express the oils from a lemon zest twist over the surface of the drink and then discard twist.
