Silver Bullet

A variation on the classic Martini, Scotch whiskey takes the place of Vermouth, yielding an intriguingly complex cocktail for those inclined to civilized drinks.

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 oz (75 ml) Gin
• 1/4 oz (7.5 ml) Scotch Whisky
• Lemon twist to garnish

Directions

1. Combine gin and scotch in a mixing glass with ice
2. Stir until well chilled
3. Strain into chilled cocktail glass
4. Garnish with a lemon twist
5. Serve

Variants

• Shake, don't stir... the difference is amazing
• Instead of a twist of lemon, try a stuffed green olive... but select the scotch well; the brine does not work with all brands.
