Bloody Scotsman
The Bloody Mary is undoubtedly one of the world’s most iconic and beloved cocktails. It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t heard of it, and most who try it tend to enjoy its bold, savory flavor. But what if I told you there’s a way to elevate this classic even further? Enter whisky. While you could simply replace vodka with whisky, this recipe takes it a step further by introducing a peaty twist. Using a richly peated whisky like Laphroaig or Bunnahabhain adds a smoky depth that transforms the drink. Pair it with a high-quality smoky tomato juice—such as Tongue in Peat—for an unforgettable, layered take on the Bloody Mary that’s perfect for whisky enthusiasts and adventurous brunch-goers alike
