Special Notes

This classic cocktail is named after the famous movie. The combination of Scotch whisky and amaretto creates a smooth, nutty flavor. The key is to use good quality Scotch for the best taste. This drink is perfect for sipping and pairs well with nuts or cheese. For a variation, you can use bourbon instead of Scotch. The orange peel adds a subtle citrus note that complements the nutty flavors.
