The Irish Bartender · Seamus O'Callaghan
Rob Roy
A bitter and herbal spirit-forward built around whiskey, with the classic proportions and service that make the Rob Roy endure.
“The Rob Roy is honest work in a glass. Keep your hand steady and your garnish modest.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Rob Roy works because Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method stirred, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
