History of the Tartan Cocktail

The history of the Tartan cocktail is not well documented. The drink is not mentioned in any pre-20th century cocktail books, and its origin is uncertain. Some say that it was created in the early 1900s by a bartender in New York City, while others claim that it was invented in Scotland. The most common recipe for the Tartan cocktail includes Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and Drambuie, a Scottish liqueur made from scotch, honey, herbs, and spices. The drink is typically served in a cocktail glass and garnished with a lemon twist.
