How to Make a Rusty Nail - strong and sweet

[@AndersErickson]

Play with the ratios of Drambuie to scotch to achieve your level of sweetness. 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4...what do you like? Time stamps below 👇👇🥃 The Booze: 0:52 The Recipe: 1:57 Sips: 3:24 Story: 3:42

[@TryTheFry]

Another terrific video, Anders! I make mine very slightly less sweet, 2:5 ratio, 24 ml Drambuie, 60 ml blended scotch.

[@AndersErickson]

@@TryTheFry I'll give that a shot! I could see liking your ratio very much. Thanks for letting me know!

4:1 with a couple of dashes of bitters...

[@wehoandy]

Did the Colonel prefer a sweeter “Good Nail?”

[@rantingcullinarian]

"I was young and I wanted to live" is a perfectly fine reason to serve an inebriated vet a Rusty Nail.

[@wigit2510]

Perhaps the Vet's blood sugar level was dangerously low and he only seemed inebriated. Hence the need for a sweet drink like a good Nail. /barstoollawyer

[@brunocosta8974]

I didn't know this cocktail until I saw this video. It is now one of my favorites by far. Funny story: I've made it dozens of times since then and *never once* I failed to exclaim "Good nail!" after the first sip. So thank you for that! :P

[@highlanderoggi3544]

I live in Fife Scotland and was born in Aberdeen, I have been drinking Drambuie since I was 18 at on officers night out when I was in the Boys Brigade and fell in love with it. It was served with crushed ice and that feeling as it goes down the hits your stomach with a warm glow that no other drink can do, not long after I started drinking rusty nails and also malt whiskys, I am now 67 and malt whisky is still my top drink. Having been to a good few highland distilleries by the time I was 30 I have done away with the ice and only use a blend to mix with Drambuie at a 50-50 blend as it is a shame in my opinion to use a single malt. My fiend at the time when I started drinking whisky worked in Haig's of Markinch as a blender told me that most people who drink whisky and claim to be able to tell the difference can't really after a few drams as the way whisky acts on the taste buds with the exception of the strong peaty west coast bottles. Anyway to me it does not matter how you drink "the water of life" as long as you enjoy it. Slàinte Mhath (Pronounced Slanj-a-va) or cheers.

[@thykingjaay5763]

Warm glow you can feel call the way down? May I introduce you to Faxe, a high percentage Danish beer. Obviously won’t have the flavour of scotch but for that warm feeling all the way down, faxe is what first came to mind for me

You type EXTREMELY well for a 67 year old whisky-addled Scot

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Drambuie has always been a favorite of my Dad.... a "half bottle" would last him 12 months....(he's never been a drinker!) But he's 94 now.... I bought him a full-size bottle a year or so back.... I reckon it'll last him until his centenary! Rusty nail was a favourite of my late wife...... RIP Darling. Thanks for the memories.

[@draxbak]

Hope he's still drinking it mate. My dad used to call Drambuie water of life. He was wrong unfortunately. The translation in celtic and gaelic is Uisge beatha, considering that at the time in Gaelic a b was pronounced as a c. you can see where this analogy came from. Apparently it's the whiskey that's the water of life. Doesn't make much odds with me,,, I will drink either gladly

[@jamesmetzler2031]

Years ago I tended bar at a hotel. I had been there about a week when this businessman came in and ordered a bloody mary. I consulted my bartenders guide and made him one. Before he left he came up to the bar and said "I travel a lot for my job and I've been in more than a few hotel bars. The bloody mary is my drink of choice and this is the best one I've ever had." I thanked him graciously. He left a big tip. I didn't have the nerve to tell him it was the first one I had ever made!

[@markwoldin162]

It is an old man's drink. I'm 64. My father introduced me to the rusty nail when I was 20. It was my favorite drink for about a year. Then I realized that it's just too sweet. Today I would make it three to one, or perhaps even 4 to one.

[@danielfitzgerald6237]

The 2:1 scotch to drambuie is amazing. I got the monkey shoulder as well and love it. This drink is so easy to make, it’s the perfect at home sipper.

[@kalo0792]

I just made a rusty nail for the first time , and OMG this drink is AMAZING! The drambuie is the star of the show here! I could drink the drambuie alone, on the rocks!

[@guidobrunellijr.3]

I came across a bar in upstate N.Y. in the 80's called the Rusty Nail. I stopped in being the only customer in the mid afternoon, the bar tender asked if I had ever had a rusty nail. I had not . That's where the love began for me.

[@keneblana]

Was only 99% sure before, but now I'm positive. Your personality and presentation are excellent. I haven't tried all the recipes but look forward to them. Please keep it up!

[@TheHuscarl101]

Went crazy the other night and started making an old fashioned…changed my mind after the bitters, orange peel, and luxardo cherry were in the glass already. Put a rusty nail on top of the prep work and spent the next couple of hours being pretty pleased with myself. Try it.

[@AndersErickson]

Sounds pretty great to me - cheers!

[@jewishpapi2645]

I’m a new bartender. Today was my first time ever making this cocktail. It was for an older gentleman. I had to look it up because I had no idea how to make it. Thank goodness for google My story wasn’t as exciting as yours tho. However he did come up to me and told me he enjoyed the think. Keep posting videos I’m learning a lot for you. Cheers

I started my mixologist adventure by following Your classic prohibition style and now I appreciate the flavors and the balance that in my youth I thought was just strong liquor. Thank you sir for your history lessons on the background of the recipe you introduce. The wife and I are throughly enjoying a Rusty Nail as I type!

[@richardmerriam7044]

I drink this between Christmas and New Year's. I use equal parts Johnny Walker Red and Drambuie. I put about 3-4 ice cubes in a zip lock bag and smash the cubes with a hammer. (outside on my concrete steps of course!) Then I'll mix the drink and add the ice. I'll wait about 5 minutes for it to chill and slightly water down. Heaven in a glass...

[@rowangallagher]

By far the best cocktail videos on KZbin. Down to earth, gets to the point without sacrificing personality. Great editing. Really enjoying following along. Thanks

[@nohabs]

I've had a bottle of Drambuie in my basement for about 50 years I received from my Father-in-law who passed away. The cork fell into the bottle immediately with bits of cork pieces. I cleaned it all, screened it then poured it back in the bottle with a fresh cork. I made your recipe. What a nice surprise. The Drambuie tasted fine. I used Lagavulin & lemon oil. 2.5 oz scotch & 1 oz Drambuie. I'm now sipping a wonderful drink. BTW, the Drambuie now sits in my liquor cabinet. Thanks

[@ShadoWalker71]

This has been my go-to drink for almost 20 years. I have to explain the recipe to just about every bartender I ask to make it.

[@imnotincontrolitsathrowawa3646]

This drink was made for me by the very first bartender I ever befriended when I started frequenting bars . She understood what I liked after seeing what I continued to order night after night and eventually recommended it. I agreed and I fell in love . So simple and tasty that to this day I make it at home .. and when I go visit her. Thank you Taylor for being a great eye opening bartending and a dope friend!

[@raoultrahan13]

"He's looking at me like he knows what he's doing. Tell him to knock it off, or I'll slit his throat." is a phrase I try to use whenever possible. More seriously, a good nail is a cocktail I am especially fond of even if I haven't had one in years. Drambuie was a favorite of my late mother who was from Wisconsin.

[@dragon201169]

This is one of my favorite drinks. I was turned on to this by an old friend. RIP Anthony you will be missed but never forgotten 🙏🏿😔✊🏿

Cheers to the Colonel and to you! While neat Scotch is a favorite, your recipe is exceptional. Loved the herbs, the hint of honey, the cocktail and I’m happy to be an old man!

I was in Belize decades ago and happened to meet a man who said his name was "Rusty Nale". I'll never forget that

[@AndersErickson]

😂

[@CoachVinoLLC]

The Rusty Nail is one of my favorite cocktails. Definitely an "old-timers" cocktail. I Had my first one with an old mobster I knew growing up. He was actually capable of slitting someone's throat but I was in his good graces. haha. It's a simple but great cocktail. He also did a 2 to 1 with an orange instead of lemon. Good times! Cheers! 🥃

[@AndersErickson]

I'm really curious about the orange! Might have to try that next time. I love your mobster story! Apparently this cocktail brings out true bar characters 🥃

@62nd Cocktails I will try to remember this while commenting on your videos. With such connections I should be very careful. :@) Cheers!

[@johnmendezdesign]

Thank You so much for adding the tools you use. That's not only helpful but thoughtful as well 👍🏻

[@kevinvitale8980]

The Rusty Nail was my very first celebratory drink when I turned 21. Went to a bar and asked the bartender his choice. Forever burned in my brain

[@trevorrose1]

I have a Drambuie story: when I was a young buck, I cared only about beer and vodka, because why would I care about any other booze. I had a house party one night, and a friend brought Drambuie, and told me it was Scotch. I had no desire to try it, until a long while later, late, with nothing else to drink, I drank my first glass of "scotch". Wow, was it good, now I knew why everybody "sophisticated" drank this, im now a Scotch drinker. That was until the next week, we went out to a club, I ordered a Scotch, neat. Wheeww boy!

[@AndersErickson]

Haha! I love this! What a great introduction to scotch. I know there was a time I might’ve made that same assumption. Your first real taste of scotch whisky had to have been so jarring! 😂🥃

[@trevorrose1]

@@AndersErickson jarring is quite accurate lol luckily I now appreciate it, and am always prepared before I ever taste any drink lol

[@dleach02]

My first introduction to Scotch was on a business trip to Edinburg Scotland (yeah... not a bad place for a business trip). So I had my wife come out for an extra week and we tried the Whiskey Experience at the top of the Royal Mile where they end with an opportunity to do tastings. I was generally good with most of them but my wife not so much. When it came to the Islay my wife wrote in her tasting note "So Bad. Everything bad. Burnt bad"... And the picture I got was priceless ;-)

[@mjv3040]

I make mine with some soda water or ginger ale for some carbonation. Serve it as a high ball with lemon wedge. Really helps cut the sweetness and pop the honey flavor.

[@latessaprof]

Drambuie definitely compliments orange. I like my drinks a tad sweeter (and larger) so adjust to 2oz scotch and 1.25 oz Drambuie. Added a few dashes of orange bitters and expressed orange oil. Wonderful drink.

[@91bravic12]

I was introduced to this drink when I was in the Army by an Air Force soldier when I was stationed in Germany, was only 19. LOVED it, one of my favorites, only reason I buy Drambuie.

[@jonathancole833]

Just a small point - Monkey Shoulder is a Blended Malt (formerly known as a Vatted Malt) and therefore 100% Malt; rather than a Blended Scotch, which is a mixture of Malt and Grain whiskies.

[@Veraxeon]

Different grains aren't a requirement for blended whisky right? Blended whisky is just different whiskies thrown together I believe. Which makes Monkey shoulder a Blended Scotch, but more specifically a blended/triple malt.

[@jonathancole833]

@@Veraxeon Monkey Shoulder is certainly a Scotch, and it is blended: so yes, it can be described as a Blended Scotch. Its just that the term usually refers to a grain/malt blend, with the term Blended (or Vatted) Malt being a more specific description of a whisky like Monkey Shoulder.

[@LaLiLuLeLoX]

@@Veraxeon Malting is just a process in the making of a specific type of whiskey. I do believe you can malt any type of grain. Single malt whiskey is made using malted barley. Malt Scotch will usually refer to Single Malt whiskey made in Scotland. You can make a single malt whiskey anywhere in the world. So a Blended Malt Scotch Whiskey would mean a blending of only single malt whiskeys from different distilleries in Scotland.

[@Veraxeon]

@@LaLiLuLeLoX Yes that's pretty much what I was trying to say

[@LaLiLuLeLoX]

@@Veraxeon I hear ya but your definitions were just a little bit off. Different grains ARE used to make whiskey. Different grains is whiskey. It starts to get specific depending on what type of whiskey you wanna create(Single Malt, bourbon, rye, corn whiskeys, etc). And blended would be defined as using whiskeys from multiple distilleries. I haven't heard of triple malt till just now. I looked it up and it refers to barrel ageing of unblended malt whiskey. Damn I just realized something. I've always thought the "single" in single malt referred to the fact that only malted barley is used but it refers to malted barley whiskey from a "single" distillery(aka unblended whiskey). SHIT!! haha...Silly me. It can get a bit confusing but yea I think all the crap I just said still makes sense!! hahaah

[@CosmicLentil]

I've made a rust nail with Talisker before, which is also made in skye! So alot of the flavours match with the drambuie, its quite smokey but delicious!

[@MatterIsNotSolid]

I think of Talisker as almost a desert scotch. Its a bit sweeter than most single malts. Its one of my favorite single malts making it into my top 5. If I were going to make a rusty nail with a single malt which... is hard for me to even think of, Id probably go with Highland Park cask strength and a 1 to 1 ratio.

[@fasteddie4107]

Great drink. I will have to try this. Your’s was an interesting story, so thanks for sharing it. I’m sure that for a vet you made every effort to figure out how to make the drink of your own accord.

[@STORMZ8]

Use crown royal in place of blended scotch and add a couple splashes of coke

[@robertkatz8093]

The better the Scotch, the less Drambuie I use. A Rusty Nail is by far my favorite cocktail. I prefer a small twist of lime to lemon. Never tried orange.

[@Gallasl666]

When I was a wee lad my dad would let me sip some of his Drambuie. I loved it. When I got older and had my first taste of this thing called Scotch, I loved it immediately. Thanks dad :) As I loved to drink both scotch and Drambuie separately, watering them down to make a cocktail seemed like sacrilege so I scoffed at this. But I made one thanks to this video, and yeah I love it. Not too sweet though so probably about 1:3 for me. Thanks again Anders!

[@Mikeandcris91]

I bartend at a large tailgate before home games at a nearby college. We have a lot of booze stored and over the years we've ended up with some items which are no longer requested, including two bottles of Drambuie. Who ever drank Rusty Nails stopped coming to the games long before I was involved. I found your videos primarily by looking for a recipe/method on making a good Nail. You've got great content and I'm slowly working my way through all your videos. Congrats on your channel!!

I drink Drambuie neat. I have a sweet tooth. Drambuie was owned by the MacKinnon family for a hundred years, then was bought by William Grant & Sons in 2014. It has been produced under contract at the Morrison Bowmore Distillers facility at Springburn Bond, Glasgow, since 2010. There is a lot of discussion about the change in design of the original bottle, and the suspected change in recipe.

When I was writing the Roland Longville Detective series, my publisher was a Korean War vet, and the Rusty Nail was his go to drink in the evenings. I had never had one, and quickly found out, they aren't for lightweights. But they are quite tasty.

[@mr.greenbrier7137]

I came across this drink, years ago, while attending bartending school. I too enjoy it especially during the winters months in Pennsylvania. As for the sweetness, I've found that it depends on my mood and the time of day, giving this simple drink more complexity.

Before I quit drinking in 1981, the rusty nail was one of my most favorite drinks and I could drink people under the table one for one. Them drinking beer and me drinking my rusty nails. I was also fond of the coffin nail which was a rusty nail with an equal pour of 101 vodka. I wasn’t a colonel but I wasn’t en listed in the military and continue to serve until 2009 for a total of 32 years.

[@tonystlin]

I love the story in the end.

[@lurchrsp]

My 90 year old father in law turned me on to Rusty Nails. Through trial and error, we have found that 2 parts scotch and 1 part Drambuie is just about right. We also experimented with different scotches and found the cheaper stuff like Dewer's White label with all of it's sharp edges does a pretty good job of mellowing the sweet of Drambuie.

[@sophiesaurette2237]

orange oil is delicious with these, as there is orange in the drambuie I believe. Super good. Super classic

[@DaleMcGregor]

Just found your channel. Excellent. Loved "the story". The heather-based honey in Drambuie can make for a level of sweetness that can be overwhelming for "young" palettes. For older people, once your taste buds start to wane save for "sweetness", they can thoroughly enjoy Drambuie straight out of the bottle. My Gramma McGregor loved her double-thimble sized glass of Drambuie after dinner. For myself, and partly as a tribute to the wonder that my Grandmother was, I will mix 1:4 with Drambuie and Aberlour A'bunadh cask strength, and use orange rind zest around the rim, as well as leave a twist in the glass - akin to an Old Fashioned. The scotch choice is a little on the sweeter side (Oloroso sherry cask aged), but by reducing the proportions of Drambuie to 4:1, you get a nice balance of sweet, with the flavour of the sherried scotch. This is an ideal sipping cocktail. Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique to make "a good nail".

[@AndersErickson]

My father-in-law (91 yr old Marine Korean War Vet) loves Drambuie, though no the price. As a scotch drinker I do like Drambuie occasionally, and Monkey Shoulder is my go to for Scotch cocktails. I will definitely try this but I think with orange peel as I think it goes better with the malt blend. FWIW the Drambuie website has 2:1 scotch to Drambuie. And some other interesting takes on others you have done like the Espresso martini. Looking forward to trying this.

[@gyangearon8729]

So Anders I tried this drink and boy is it super sweet. I would consider it a desert sipper. Wife and I were trying to figure out what else to do with Drambui as it is very interesting. I just invented this. 2oz Drambui, 1oz lime juice, 5-6 shakes of orange bitters, shake with ice, poor all contents into a collins glass. Top with ginger beer. Give it a couple of stirs. It's kind of like a long island iced tea with that tang (even the color) with the sweet honey after taste at the end. I'm calling it a "sweet tea" :) Feel free to try it, share it, improve on it (just tell me hehe) Enjoy.

[@joshuaharper372]

The rusty nail was my first cocktail. A group of friends would go to get drinks after church choir rehearsal, and several of them would regularly get rusty nails. They got me one once, and it was my on-ramp for scotch. I needed the sweetness of the drambuie at first; now I find it cloying!

I used to fly quite a lot and ended up with access to the First Class lounge in London Heathrow, where they have a self-pour bar. For a few years until I changed jobs, I would mix myself a very heavy-handed "Turbo" Rusty Nail; 1x 18yo Drambuie + 2x Johnnie Walker Blue Label. It was fantastic but I hate to think how much it would have cost in a bar and I've never had the means to order one since!

My wife picked up Monkey Shoulder on a whim. Man, oh, man! About as close to a single malt (for a blend) that I've come across. By a long shot. Great choice! Like the idea of the lemon oil. I'll give that a try.
