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.
Rob Roy
The simple Manhattan variation is improved greatly with the help of fresh vermouth and a good blended Scotch.
The Chancellor Cocktail
The Chancellor is a close relative of another scotch cocktail, the Rob Roy, with a couple of interesting twists. In place of the Rob Roy's bittersweet tang from Italian vermouth, the Chancellor relies on the robust richness of port, its gentle sweetness tempered by a little dry vermouth.
Penicillin Cocktail
Fresh ginger and a float of extra-smoky Scotch lend complexity to this modern riff on a whiskey sour.
Auld Draper
Byrrh, a mild apéritif based on red wine and flavored lightly with quinine, gives a rich and spicy kick to this easy-to-make gin cocktail.
Blood and Sand
Scotch, orange, and sweet vermouth: An unlikely-sounding trio that come together flawlessly.
Scotch, Sherry, and Concord Cocktail

Scotch in a blended drink? Yes! Try this smoky, fruity, and spicy frozen cocktail at your next cookout.
Basin Street Blues
This cocktail, adapted from Domenica in New Orleans, is pretty low in alcohol, but not at all low in flavor. It reminds us of caramel and lemon drops, with an essential smoky addition from a few drops of Scotch.

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.
