Dry Rob Roy Ingredients


Dry Rob Roy Instructions

The Dry Rob Roy is a classic cocktail that is similar to a traditional Rob Roy, but with a dryer taste. It is made with Scotch whisky, dry vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters. This cocktail is a great option for those who prefer a drier and less sweet drink.

To make a Dry Rob Roy, start by chilling a cocktail glass in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Once the glass is chilled, fill it with ice cubes to keep the drink cold. In a mixing glass, combine 2 ounces of Scotch whisky, 1 ounce of dry vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters. Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds to ensure that the ingredients are well combined and chilled.

Next, discard the ice cubes from the cocktail glass and strain the mixture into the glass. You can garnish the Dry Rob Roy with a lemon twist or a cherry, depending on your preference. Serve the cocktail immediately and enjoy!


Best served in a Cocktail Glass.
