Great Chieftain O' The Puddin Race!

As many of you may know tomorrow is an important date for all Scots as we celebrate the life of one of our nations greatest sons. His poetry is synonymous with the Scottish people so to honour him we created a cocktail menu using an array of Scottish ingredients. We sampled the list at Corpse and Cocktail yesterday evening and received a lot of positive feed back. The cocktails featured a Blackwood’s Shetland Gin Martini with a dash of Elderflower, the classic Rusty Nail and a Manhattan with a dot of Irn Bru syrup to sweeten it. Obviously a menu designed to catch your attention as Burns himself often intended in his works. There is one drink that I want to share with you and because of its obscurity it is definitely worth a try. It is our twist on a Whisky Sour made with Chivas Regal 12 Year Old, fresh lemon juice, sugar, a dash of egg white and a Tonic Wine float. Yes that’s right a Buckfast float on our Scottish sour. As Glasgow’s largest import we felt it was a fitting finish to this drink and the cocktail menu. So come along to 99 to celebrate Burns night with us and try one of our cocktails dedicated to The Bard. Hopefully you’ll have as good a night as Tam O’Shanter.
