Rob Roy

The scotch Manhattan, this drink is one where the ratios vary a lot from taste bud to taste bud (and from scotch to scotch). I like scotch a fair amount, so I'm comfortable with the ratio Dale DeGroff gave in his essential Craft of the Cocktail. Others might want to go down to a 2:1.

2 1/2 oz Blended Scotch
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 dash Angostura

Combine in an ice-filled glass and stir for 15-20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon peel.

Enjoy.
