Generic classification

  • 2 parts Spirit
  • 1 part Liquer

Most often served stirred on the rocks.

Named after the classic Rusty_Nail. Distinguished mainly by the 2:1 proportions, although occasionally it's seen as 3:2, eg 1 1/2 oz spirit to 1 oz liqueur. Many of the Highballs and Sours start with these proportions and add a non-alcoholic mixer.

A good rule of thumb when hearing a random recipe for the first time is to aim at these proportions.

Variations

  • Stirring and straining to serve 'up'
  • Adding a significant garnish Rob_Roy
