Dewar's All Wet on Rob Roy Recipe

Dewar's All Wet on Rob Roy Recipe
The Rob Roy is an all-time favorite, as is mother's milk Dewar's, but boy are they off base on their Rob Roy recipe. According to Dewar's:

3 parts Dewar's "White Label"
2.5 parts sweet vermouth
2 dashes bitters
2 dashes simple syrup
1 cherry

We're all for adding a little extra vermouth, but this is just too heavy-duty. Plus, with the addition of simple sugar, this version is probably so sweet you could put a stick into it, turn it upright, and then have a Rob Roy lollipop. What a great way to get the kids started!

  • 2 parts Germain-Robin Craft Method brandy
  • 1 part Cointreau
  • 1 part fresh lemon juice

Lightly shake with ice, then pour into a ice-filled rocks glass. Based on your tastes, brandy choice, and strength of the lemon juice, you should adjust the Cointreau and lemon juice to find proper balance.
