Blue Rob Roy Cocktail
The Blue Rob Roy cocktail is a luxury take on the scotch staple, made with the velvety depth of Johnnie Walker Blue Label; combining smoky, refined whisky with the rich sweetness of vermouth and aromatic bitters. Stirred over ice until perfectly chilled, it is finished with a vibrant twist of orange peel, which releases citrus oils that complement the spirit’s layered notes.
