I'm gonna go make 1 (or 4)

1 1/2 oz Scotch whisky
1/2 tsp Grand Marnier® orange liqueur
1 twist lemon peel

Combine scotch and grand marnier in a brandy snifter. Add a twist of lemon peel, and serve.


If you use Drambuie instead of Grand Marnier, it's called a "Rusty Nail." Three of these, and your tone will be permanently altered!!! :shock:

you can't. the zinc will dissolve and contaminate the nickel plating liquid. you either have to copper plate it first or strip it off (easier.)
How dare you presume to inject, using reproducible facts and rational thought, an on-topic discussion into a thread that had degenerated from sarcasm, personal invective, and hand-waving arguments?
