The name Scottish Rose does not refer to the colour of the drink itself but rather the colour of ones cheeks after drinking it! This cocktail recipe was created for the Demijohn 2008 Staff Christmas night out by Alastair Simpson where a cocktail competition was held between our Edinburgh and Glasgow shops. The Glasgow cocktail is called a Strawberry Moscow Mule. Although a draw was declared on the night, your comments on the success of each recipe would be much appreciated and can be posted online if witty enough!

Ingredients:
1/2 measure Caol Ila Single Islay Malt Whisky 46%
2 measures Blackwood's 60% abv Vintage Gin
1 measure Apricot Brandy Liqueur 17%

Preparation:
Take 2 classic Martini glasses, evenly split the 1/2 measure of Caol Ila between the 2 glasses. Tilt each glass and spin slowly to entirely coat the inside of the glass with a film of the whisky and discard the remainder. Then take a Boston Shaker, (or generic cocktail shaker) and fill with ice. Add 2 measures of Blackwood's 60% abv Vintage Gin and a single measure of Apricot Brandy Liqueur 17%. Shake vigorously and then strain evenly into the 2 prepared glasses to remove the ice. To finish the cocktail, drop in a whole fresh bramble (blackberry) and then serve.
