Cocktail: Machattan

[teaberryblue]

trouserminnow and I were discussing scotch cocktails in his LJ the other day, so I decided I would post up one of my standards that I don’t think I’ve posted yet.

Technically, a Manhattan mixed with scotch is called a Rob Roy, but this is sort of a twist on both, so it demanded a new name.

Ingredients for 2 cocktails

4 oz Scotch (I used Aberlour a’bunadh, which is aged in bourbon barrels)
4 oz Pomegranate Sour Cherry juice (I used Smart Juice Organic 100% Juice)
1 oz Lime Simple Syrup (you can use Rose’s Lime Juice instead if you are lazy)
4 dashes Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters
Ice

Instructions
Fill shaker with ice
Pour all ingredients into a shaker and shake
Serve in chilled Martini glasses

(This one is simple)

I got a fantastically epic case of alcohol poisoning from Manhattans one night. *shudder*
