Scottish Cooler Cocktail
The Scottish Cooler cocktail is a bright, summer beverage that adds a fresh twist to single malt whisky that combines The Singleton’s smooth, mellow taste with fresh watermelon juice for natural sweetness and bright colour. The inclusion of lemon juice provides a citrusy lift, while agave or simple syrup adds flavour.
