Ingredients: 2 oz Scotch whisky; ½ oz sweet vermouth; ½ oz dry vermouth; 2 orange bitters

The Perfect Rob Roy splits the vermouth between sweet and dry, creating a drier, more complex version of the classic Scotch Manhattan. The balanced vermouth softens the Scotch without fully sweetening it.

Perfect Rob Roy

Cocktails carrying smoke from mezcal, peated Scotch, or a flamed element. Smoky drinks are bold and atmospheric.

Smoky

Cocktails with little residual sweetness, emphasizing spirit and botanical character. Dry drinks include classic martinis, bone-dry vermouth pours, and stirred, spirit-forward builds.

Cocktails with layered flavors that reveal themselves over multiple sips, often built from many modifiers or aged components.

Complex

Spirit-forward cocktails where the alcohol is the main event, typically stirred builds on ice. Boozy drinks reward sipping.
