Whisky&#8217;s flavour is a complex symphony of warmth, with notes that can range from smoky to sweet, floral to earthy. Depending on its origin, it might bear hints of vanilla, caramel, oak, peat, or fruit. Its finish can be spicy, smooth, long, or abrupt. Every sip is a unique experience, so it\u2019s no surprise many classic cocktails have it as a key ingredient. Don\u2019t get me wrong, a glass of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skullandbarrel.com.au\/brand\/laphroaig\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laphroaig whisky<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the rocks or Hibiki Santory neat is delicious, but classic whisky cocktails are classic for a reason. So if you\u2019re a whisky lover, looking to beef up your home bartending skills or need a delicious beverage for your next dinner party, here are six classic whisky cocktails everyone should know how to make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Rob Roy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First up is the Rob Roy, an American classic that first made a splash on the bar scene in the late 1890\u2019s. According to Frank Caiafa, a former New York City bartender and author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.townandcountrymag.com\/leisure\/drinks\/interviews\/a6236\/waldorf-astoria-bar-book\/\">The Waldorf Astoria Bar Book<\/a>, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0the drink got its name from the Rob Roy operetta that was playing at the nearby Herald Square Theatre at the time. Loosely based on a Scottish folk hero, the operetta tells the tale of a Robin Hood-like figure named Rob Roy MacGregor. Its taste profile is similar to a Manhattan\u2019s except the bourbon or rye is swapped for Scotch whisky (a small change that\u2019s big on flavour). Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/span><br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60mls of Scotch whisky<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20mls of sweet vermouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2-3 dashes of Angostura bitters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maraschino cherry for garnish<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Method:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill a mixing glass with ice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour the Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters over the ice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stir the ingredients together until well chilled.

However, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gobourbon.com\/boulevardier-history-happenings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boulevardier cocktail recipe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> itself was first published in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barflies and Cocktails<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a 1927 book by Harry MacElhone, who was the owner of Harry&#8217;s New York Bar in Paris, a popular spot for American expatriates. In the book, MacElhone credits Gwynne with the creation of the cocktail. Here&#8217;s how to make it:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45mls of Bourbon or Rye Whiskey<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30mls of Campari<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30mls of Sweet Vermouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Orange peel for garnish<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Method:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill a mixing glass with ice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pour the whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth over the ice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stir the ingredients together until the outside of the glass is cold to the touch. This usually takes around 20-30 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass or a rocks glass over a large ice cube, depending on your preference.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Express the oils from an orange peel over the drink, rub it around the rim of the glass, and then drop it in as a garnish.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Boulevardier is essentially a whiskey-based version of the Negroni and it&#8217;s a great cocktail to enjoy in Melbourne\u2019s cooler months due to its rich, warming flavours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Highball<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a classic whisky cocktail with a lighter flavour, then the Highball is for you. The name \u2018highball\u2019 likely comes from the serving glass, which is taller than typical whiskey glasses. But the cocktail itself originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1880\u2019s with the invention of its key ingredient: soda water. When black market sales of scotch exploded during Prohibition, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themixer.com\/en-us\/learn\/highball-cocktail-history\/#:~:text=FUN%20FACT%3A%20In%20the%20days,hence%20the%20name%20'highball'.\">iconic scotch and soda mix <\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> became a favourite of many thirsty American citizens; the rest they say is history.

The traditional choice is club soda, but ginger ale will give a sweeter, spicier flavour.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stir gently to mix, taking care not to &#8220;bruise&#8221; the carbonation out of the soda.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garnish with a lemon wheel or cherry, if desired.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Highball is a versatile drink that allows for a lot of variation, so feel free to experiment with different types of whiskey and different ratios to find the perfect balance for your palate.

Originating in mid-19th century New Orleans, it was initially made with cognac and bitters, but the recipe changed to rye whiskey in the 1870\u2019s due to a grape-eating pest epidemic that affected Europe\u2019s vineyards. Today, the Sazerac remains a staple of New Orleans cocktail culture and became the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/local\/new-orleans\/2023\/06\/23\/sazerac-cocktail-new-orleans\">city&#8217;s official cocktail in 2008<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

And don\u2019t let the name put you off, the recipe is simple and delicious, consisting of Scotch whisky and Drambuie, a liqueur that\u2019s also made from Scotch whisky, honey, herbs, and spices. The Rusty Nail is believed to have been created in the 1930s or 1940s and is often associated with the Rat Pack since it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/concreteplayground.com\/sydney\/food-drink\/drink\/classic-cocktail-history-the-rusty-nail\">favourite beverage of Frank Sinatra<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr.
