Drambuie is a Scottish liqueur invented by Bonnie Prince Charlie over 250 years ago. A golden liqueur, Drambuie is made with a whiskey base and infused with a variety of herbs. Its flavour has notes of nutmeg, honey, saffron and anise. There are many ways to serve Drambuie liqueur. The best way to enjoy its complexity is to drink it neat or on the rocks. If you're feeling adventurous, combine it with one of Drambuie's recommended mixers.

Mix one part Drambuie and three parts mixer (Drambuie recommends soda water, ginger beer, orange juice, champagne) over ice to create a flavourful tall drink in a highball glass. Add a twist of lime or orange, or even grated ginger, to spice up the cocktail.
