Rusty Nail Recipe
The Rusty Nail is a storied, spirit-forward classic that can often lean too sweet depending on the liqueur ratio. By incorporating the flavor dense intensity of Frutiva Lime Juice, you replace the traditional "squeeze of lime" with a stable, high-performance acid foundation. This professional-grade build ensures the cocktail remains bright and structured, providing an elevated guest experience that honors the drink’s history while meeting modern standards for recipe consistency and speed of service. This application allows you to Maximize Every Pour by transforming a heavy two-ingredient drink into a balanced, signature-style refresher.
Cocktail Ingredients & Measurements
How to Make This Cocktail
Step 1
Prepare a heavy rocks glass by placing one large, clear ice sphere inside.
Step 2
Combine the Scotch and Drambuie directly in the glass.
Step 3
Add the Frutiva Lime Juice. By using this non-diluted craft base, you introduce a necessary acid structure that cuts through the heavy, syrupy honey notes of the liqueur.
Step 4
Stir gently with a bar spoon for 10–15 seconds to chill the spirits and integrate the flavors without over-diluting the build.
Step 5
Express the oils of a fresh lemon peel over the surface of the drink.
Step 6
Garnish by tucking the lemon twist into the side of the glass.
Step 7
Serve immediately.
