Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with orange oil from a twist.
A Rusty Nail crossed with The Modernista and named after a Mission of Burma song.
At Drink on night, I had a guest in an after-work crowd that was ordering Rusty Nails, and like a week prior when I crafted the Big Spender, it got me thinking about Drambuie. Another cocktail that I had made that night was the Modernista, and I decided to take that Scotch-Jamaican rum combination and fuse it with the Rusty Nail. I dropped the citrus from the equation and ended up opting for Angostura Bitters which provided more structure than the orange bitters from the Modernista. For a name, I dubbed this one the New Nails after the 1982 song from Boston band Mission of Burma.
