1.5 ounces of Scotch
.75 ounce Sweet Vermouth
1 dash Bitters
Stir ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass and serve. Garnish with a cherry.
Now, you would think that this guy Rob Roy MacGregor, a 17th century version of Jack Bauer/Clint Eastwood/John Wayne, must have been quite a tough guy to get both a movie and a drink named after him.
But, then again maybe not. The only other drink I can recall (at the moment) named after anyone is a Shirley Temple.
4 oz Ginger ale
1/2 oz Grenadine syrup
Twist of lemon peel
Thin slice of orange
2 or 3 ice cubes
Stir into a highball glass. Try not to laugh at the guy who ordered it.
Back before we got married, Holli would ask me to order her a Shirley Temple and then get up and go to the bathroom before the waiter came over. I think it was on accident most of the time.
