Drink of the Day: Barn Door
If you are a fan of scotch, and want to do a little more than the typical scotch on the rocks today, I have a cocktail I think you will enjoy. Not too much is added to override the back flavor of the spirit; just enough to add some flavor and, at the same time, take the bite out of the liquor itself. The ingredients do a very good job complementing one another.
One thing to remember: You want to probably keep it a blended scotch which is a better mixer in my opinion. However, this may be my integrity talking. Do what you feel would best fit your taste. You’ll be the one enjoying it.
Have a great day, everyone! Cheers!
Barn Door Cocktail
2 oz. Blended Scotch Whisky
