There is no set rule for which type of
whisky should be used in a whisky
cocktail. Although true devotees of whisky could
not bring themselves to use a
Scotch single malt whisky in a cocktail.
They believe a single malt should be
drunk alone to fully appreciate and
savour the whisky.
You will find
blended whisky mix well in cocktails and
is the most commonly used whisky in
whisky cocktails. The best advice I can
give is to use a whisky which you know
you already enjoy, whether its a single
malt or a blended whisky. Anyway listed
below are some of the more popular
drinks and cocktails made with Scotch
whisky, enjoy.

In Scotland the Scotch Whisky Toddy
is commonly referred to simply as a "Hot
Toddy". A very pleasant warming drink on
a cold evening, of which there are many
in
Scotland. Many Scots will often take a
Hot Toddy to ease the symptoms of a
common cold. Being a Scotsman myself I
have taken this all my life and would
swear by it as a cold remedy or as a
nice little winter warmer. |
