Scotch 75 Cocktail
The Scotch 75 cocktail is a sophisticated take on the French 75, using single malt scotch whisky as its refined base. Expertly blending whisky’s deep aromas with a delicate touch of vanilla, topped with effervescent sparkling wine, it is typically served in a chilled flute or coupe glass. Ideal to serve at high-end parties and events, the concoction provides a sumptuous, well-balanced, fresh taste that appeals to discerning palates looking for a bright libation.
