Highland Fling Cocktail.
Scotch: Missing
Sweet Vermouth: Missing
Orange bitters: Missing
Olive: Missing
The Highland Fling combines twice as much Scotch as sweet vermouth, keeping the whisky at the centre of the recipe. Orange bitters add a small citrus-spice accent. Its olive garnish gives it a different finish from a cherry-garnished whisky cocktail, without adding juice or extra sweetness.
