Drink Recipe

King James II

A brooding, spirit-forward cocktail that marries smoky Scotch with the raisiny sweetness of tawny port and the herbal dryness of vermouth, finished with a whisper of aromatic bitters. It pours a deep amber-red and drinks rich and smooth, a refined sipper worth ordering if you want a complex, after-dinner tipple that’s both warming and balanced.
