The Rusty Nail is a cocktail that has been around since the mid-20th century. The traditional recipe for a Rusty Nail includes Scotch whisky and Drambuie, which is typically served over ice in a rocks glass and garnished with a lemon twist. The origins of the drink are uncertain, but it is believed to have been created in the United States or Scotland during the mid-20th century. The exact origins of the drink are not clear, but it is believed to have been created by a bartender experimenting with different ingredients. The Rusty Nail is considered a classic cocktail, it has a strong and robust flavor, that comes from the combination of the smoky and peaty notes of the Scotch and the sweetness of the honey liqueur Drambuie. It is usually consumed by those who enjoy whiskey-based cocktails, and it's considered a year-round drink that can be sipped neat or on the rocks. It's not as popular as other classics, but it still has a dedicated following.
