About This Cocktail

The Rusty Nail gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a favourite of the Rat Pack. The combination of Scotch whisky and Drambuie (a whisky-based liqueur made with honey and herbs) creates a smooth, warming drink. Its simplicity and depth made it a staple of mid-century cocktail culture.
