If you don’t know Diane Guercio, you should be following her on twitter and subscribing to her blog. Her friends know her as heyamaretto, and she brings a special kind of poetry, humor and zest for life into our techie SM world.
I wanted to honor Diane with a drink. Collaborating on Twitter for a mixture of her signature and my Scotch. I found out in short order that the 3 parts Scotch and 1 part Amaretto, which Diane named “The Rusty Nail of Love” had already been invented as the Godfather.
So, I decided a on a little more of a southern touch. Since mint grows like a fine smelling weeds around my house, it was easy to come up with the final, unique recipe. I Googled this combination and did not find a named cocktail.
I am going to leave it to Diane to name it, but here goes:
In your favorite highball glass,
Bruise 3 mint leaves
Add ice cubes
Pour in 1.5 ounces of good Scotch
Add .5 ounce of Amaretto (Disaronno)
Stir
Feel free to Double or triple the recipe.
Enjoy!
