Scottish Renaissance
09 March 2010

This mix is the essence of a Drambuie cocktail with the traditional flavours of honey, herbs and spices combined with zingy citrus lemon and plum. Combining new and old the spirit of Drambuie has been alive since 1745 when Prince Charlie gifted his loyal friend captain John MacKinnon with the secret to his Royal Elixir. This Elixir became known as 'The Golden Spirit with Secret Riches'. Enjoy this outside while the evenings are still warm.

INGREDIENTS:
45ml Drambuie
15ml Tuaca
25ml Lemon Juice
Half a plum
Teaspoon of plum jam

METHOD:
Muddle half a plum and a spoonful of plum jam in a Boston shaker. Add the Drambuie, Tuaca and lemon juice with ice and shake. Strain into a chilled glass of crushed ice. Top with soda or sparkling mineral water.

GARNISH:
With a lemon twist.
