The Tom Collins is probably the most recognizable highball style cocktail. Another classic highball is the El Diablo. The Black Donald is essentially an El Diablo using Scotch in place of Tequila and Drambuie in place of Creme de Cassis. Grab your nearest bottle of single malt and give it a go!

Black Donald

  • 1 1/2 oz Balvenie Double Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky
  • 3/4 oz Drambuie
  • 3/4 oz lime juice
  • ginger beer

    • Instructions

    shake first three ingredients with ice

    strain into an ice filled collins glass

    top with ginger beer

    garnish with a lime wheel

    Nice twist on the El Diablo! I’d be interested in more cocktails using Single Malts as ingredients.

    I see these “spooon straws” semi regularly at well stocked kitchen stores. But you can also find them online at…
