We once heard someone describe scotch as "a grumpy old bachelor, seldom to be found in a marrying mood." They were describing the fact that there aren't many cocktails made with scotch, not necessarily describing the kind of people who enjoy scotch (although it kind of speaks for itself). One of the most popular of the cocktails made with scotch is the Rob Roy:

The "Scotch Manhattan" indeed. For those of you out there who may not like scotch, this drink may be an opportunity to ease into it and end up liking it! Regardless, this drink is perfect for these winter nights that don't seem to be leaving any time soon.
The five o'clock whistle just blew -- now let's wet our whistle! Our dear friends from Southern Comfort bring us this week's Friday Happy Hour, via their 1968 recipe booklet on themed happy hours. This week, we feature the "traditional after five happy hour" and -- as you've seen -- we're hoisting our Happy Hour flag!
