    Also there is the Burns Bright. Similar to the Rob Roy. You add a dash of Absinthe and instead of the regular bitters you substitute orange bitters. It's good!

    Great video. I’m typically more on the Old Fashioned side but have family and friends that opt for the Manhattan so will need to give these variations a try. Bourbon over here is typically a bit cheaper than Scotch so I may need to hold off on trying these somewhat aka - my family can drink …. a lot. The Bobby Burns though is new to me, will have to give that a try. Cheers ..

    Before I knew what a Rob Roy was, at my favorite bar (at the time mostly due to their happy hour), they could make me a manhattan, but only with bourbon and Martini Rosso, so one night I asked them to make it with Monkey Shoulder instead, and do a 60ml scotch, 20ml Rosso, 10ml Martini Extra Dry, and two Luxardo cherries - I still have the result every once in a while when I'm there, as the nightcap. Scotch in a Manhattan just works!

    I went through a Manhattan moment this spring. I am not a fan of whisky, so I substituted a dark tequila instead (Jose Cuervo Especial for those keeping score). I kept everything else the same (sweet vermouth - Martini brand) and the Maraschino cherry (added an extra depending on how my day went). Cocktail drink still came out good and sipped on it with some Korean BBQ beef.

    3 Dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters
    .25 oz simple syrup

    Great video! The Rob Roy is my favorite cocktail of all time. Or rather, I treat it like a family of cocktails.
    The Rob Roy itself I make three different ways: Sweet, as in this video; Dry, with dry vermouth and orange bitters; and a Perfect version in which I use equal parts sweet and dry vermouth and add Peychaud's bitters.
    The Bobby Burns I make without the bitters and a glass rinsed with absinthe. It's close relative is an original creation of mine that's basically a Bobby Burns using the Drambuie instead of Benedictine and dry vermouth instead of sweet. I call this one the William Wallace after another Scottish folk hero with an alliterative name.
    Between these variations and the amazing variety of both blended Scotch and single malts, I never get tired of Rob Roys. Cheers!

    As a Scot who loves proper whisky, and a manhattan, I've actually rarely had one of these. But I live in Ayrshire, so I think I might have to bug some of my pals in bars to start making the Bobby Burns. Though Drambie is gank, so I'd rather not have it in 🤣 Amazing recommendation, so will be making these! Also used to have an owner who insisted all oil notes (like the orange and lemon) should be lit up for theatrics lol

    I think, the Manhattan variation with scotch will taste better. also, here in this part of the world Scotch is more available and familar taste then Bourbon.
    And I agree, the cocktail named after the Bard is better.
    I've often thought of makin Manhattan with scotch. Didn't know it has a name with poetic association.
