<br /> As that ol' song goes, nice & easy does it! And this drink is definitely nice and easy. The Drambuie puts some body into the drink, and and the blended Scotch and Cocchi Americano lightens things up somewhat. The end result, along with the big ice rock in the middle, topped with orange and lemon twist oils, is a drink that is nice & easy. Definitely a late spring thru early fall drink.

Absinthe? How much? Why? I'd like to try your suggestion.
