Scottish Rifle

The Scottish Rifle is a bold, aromatic highball that showcases Scotland’s proud distilling heritage with a contemporary edge. At its core is Caorunn Gin, infused with wild Highland botanicals for a crisp, clean flavour. This is layered with the honeyed warmth of Drambuie, while a touch of Brancamenta brings a cool, herbal lift that adds an unexpected twist.

A splash of fresh lemon juice brightens the profile, balancing the richness with a sharp citrus edge. Topped with Scottish ale, the drink gains a smooth, malty effervescence, and a dash of Angostura bitters adds gentle spice and depth.

Served long over ice, the Scottish Rifle is complex yet approachable – a refreshing nod to Scotland’s past, with a forward-thinking spirit.
