Charmer

The Charmer cocktail flavors scotch with a touch of orange curacao, dry vermouth and orange bitters. The result is a lightly fruity, lightly oaken (depending on the scotch you use) and slightly spicy taste.

This is definitely a drink to be savored. The flavors are fairly complex, even when you use a lesser quality scotch (which I always recommend for cocktails – something decent, but not something you’d ever enjoy drinking neat).

Recipe

• 1 1/2 ounces scotch
• 1/2 ounce orange curacao
• 1 dash dry vermouth
• 1 dash orange bitters

Fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice. Pour in the ingredients and shake well. Strain into a cocktail glass.
