One of my favorite fall/winter liqueurs is Drambuie, which is made from fine scotch and various herbal extracts. Drambuie is a little sweet on its own, so some people like having a Rusty Nail, which is scotch mixed with a little Drambuie. For me though, rum works just as well and tones down the peaty scotch notes and sings with the rum really well, similar to a spiced rum punch. I like a high quality rum from Jamaica here, like Appleton gold because it helps balance the sweetness of the liqueur, but any somewhat dry rum works well.
Rasta Nail
2 ounces quality gold or anejo rum, preferably Jamaican
1/2 ounce Drambuie
(serves 1)
Mix rum and Drambuie together in a glass neat or on the rocks. Garnish with lime twist and grating of nutmeg.
