Godfather Cocktail
This Scotch and amaretto drink is a cousin of the Rusty Nail.
Blood and Sand
Scotch, orange, and sweet vermouth: An unlikely-sounding trio that come together flawlessly.
Italian Buck (Amaro and Ginger Beer Highball)
This fizzy, spicy, sweet-tart, and bitter drink was created by Jamie Boudreau of Canon in Seattle, and appears in Amaro by Brad Thomas Parsons. It's a little like a bitter, gutsy take on a Dark 'n Stormy, but instead of rum, the drink is made with two bittersweet Italian liqueurs: orangey Montenegro and vegetal Cynar.
Modern Cocktail No. 2
The Modern Cocktail No. 2 shows how wonderfully blended scotch can work in a cocktail. As written in the Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930, the Modern #2 matches the smooth richness of blended scotch with the sharp tang of sloe gin, with dashes of absinthe, grenadine and bitters lending additional complexity.
The Trident
The Negroni is a classic cocktail composed of equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. The Trident takes the same formula, but swaps out each of the ingredients. In place of the herbaceous character of gin, the Trident uses the cumin-and-caraway flavors of aquavit ; sweet vermouth is replaced with the nuttiness of dry sherry; and for the bitter edge, Cynar takes the place of Campari.
The Arnaud's Special
With the advance of autumn, it's time to break out the dark-spirit drinks suitable to the cooler seasons. The Arnaud's Special is a close cousin to the Rob Roy, and was the house cocktail for Arnaud's Restaurant in New Orleans during the 1940s and '50s.
Rusty Nail
Though the modern version of this classic calls for equal parts, earlier versions were drier, calling for substantially more Scotch. This is where you'll start.
Irish Cocktail
This classic drink is similar to the Improved Holland Gin Cocktail, but uses Irish whiskey instead of malty genever.
Rob Roy
The simple Manhattan variation is improved greatly with the help of fresh vermouth and a good blended Scotch.

Drunk Uncle (Scotch and Cynar Cocktail)

Peaty Scotch, such as Laphroaig, gives this drink a woodsy character that's emphasized by swapping the standard Campari for Cynar, a vegetal, bittersweet liqueur.
