For more cocktails, see my Complete Book of Mixed Drinks (HarperCollins, 2002).

I am suggesting at least one featured spirit for each cocktail. These choices are based on my objective evaluation and are not paid advertisements. Enjoy!

Balvenie on The Rock

This 17-year-old expression of Balvenie, enhanced with American oak, is smooth and smoky with lovely toast and spice; rich dried fruit and vanilla; deep, complex and quite lovely.

3 oz Balvenie New Wood Aged 17 Years
1 ice cube

Pour the Balvenie gently into a rocks glass. Add one ice cube
