Better ask grandpa if he thinks Scotch should be adulterated.
The only permitted additive to scotch is Drambuie.
A moscow mule uses vodka, not tequila.
thank you for correcting me on the 2nd part, like i said being underage i don't know much haha
Way to complicated for me .. I make something similar ... eliminate all of those ingredients except ice and ginger beer. Float some Goslings Black Seal Rum on top the ginger beer (at least 50/50 mix), a little lime, and life is good.me being underage... so here's an alcohol free drink that i love
i'm used to doing everything by eye, so i don't know exact measurements
-fresh peppermint leaves (you can buy a plant at walmart and if you water it will grow more)
-ginger beer
-club soda
-limes
-blackberries, raspberries, or sliced cucumbers
fill a glass (i don't know names of them so just pick one) about halfway with ice, then toss in 6-8 thick peppermint leaves, a few of the fruit of your choice, then top with ice 2/3 of the way full. squeeze 1 lime, fill about 2/3 of the way with ginger beer, and add club sode (it's to add carbonation not taste), stir, then top with said fruit and a couple peppermint leaves.
again i know this by heart, so it's all my best guess
Sacrilege... maybe a drop of water.
I've never heard of this drink before, but it seems worth fighting for.
The RN Brits have some fine cocktail recipes in their sea locker.
You have to handle 20th c. artifacts more gently.
As an almost-Brit...and veteran of many an RAF "mess..." Pimm's is a ritual almost as sacred as Jeremiah Weed in a fighter squadron.We have definitely been slackers on the cocktail thread. Time for some springtime refreshments.
This put me in mind of a Pimm’s Cup, which I first enjoyed with some Royal Navy officers at the NATO Officers’ Club in Naples, IT. There is a sea story involved here, because I had signed up for an international “squash racquets” (because one did not just say “squash”) tournament at the base, using my initials as a first name, something I often did in those days to obscure my gender and remove invisible barriers. I showed up for my match, and my opponent was quite shocked, as there was no Ladies’ Division, and he protested to the tournament judge. Certain things were not “done.” I offered to play the match as a practice round and withdraw after that. Well-schooled by the two Canadian officers attending the Naval War College who had taught me during my stash duty assignment at OCS after I commissioned in Newport, and then a regular player of both racquetball with Americans and squash with Spanish officers in Rota (all men, all the time), I tidily and decisively won the match, three out of five (lost the first two, wicked serve he had, hammered him the last three with kill shots). I was not allowed to continue on, because Rules Were Rules, but I was invited to the senior officer refreshment area and introduced to a Pimm’s Cup. Quite refreshing. This also led to other fun social invitations, which also led to my introductions to Pusser’s Rum, Dark and Stormies and something called a Horse’s Neck.
After searching the internet, I think this recipe appeals the most. The minute the spring weather here firms up enough, I will repair to the hammock on the screened porch with one. Be sure to enjoy the comments. Gets a bit testy on what a proper version is.

The Pimm's Cup is a British cocktail staple. Our recipe gives a little update on the classic thanks to fresh apple, cucumber, and navel orange.www.foodandwine.com
That scotch of choice would be Famous Grouse.
