Whisky Cocktail: Morangie Cocktail

Sometimes I like to dabble in cocktail construction with my good friend forrest. He has an amazing cocktail site called, a drink with forrest. When I wrote my review of the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, I asked him for help in constructing some nice elegant cocktails to enjoy using this fine Single Malt Scotch. Forrest in his usual helpful and endearing style gave me not one… but three great cocktails and one snifter drink. Here is one of his awesome cocktails called Morangie Cocktail.

(Although the recipe originally called for a specific Glenmorangie single malt scotch, I have messed around a bit and discovered that the cocktail tasted great with any of the Glenmorangie whiskies in my cabinet.)

Morangie Cocktail

1/4 Oz Luxardo Maraschino
3/4 – 1 Oz Fresh Orange Juice

Stir w/ cracked ice until chilled, Strain into Cocktail Glass

I think you will agree that when it comes to cocktails, forrest rocks!
