The Martingale cocktail brings a fresh flavor to modern cocktails. The Blended scotch balances wonderfully with, the cassis and Cynar, the lime provides nice sharp citrus layers and the oils provide interesting aromatics, the fresh grated nutmeg add a nice nutty flavor and enhances the peaty flavor. This cocktail really showcases how a good cassis can have a place in modern day cocktails. May you imbibe well
