A traditional Rob Roy is made with sweet vermouth. For a lighter version, we used an elderflower liqueur instead, but kept the Scotch and added a touch of herbal flavor.

A scotch Manhattan is known as a Rob Roy. This recipe is a favorite of Johnnie Walker cocktails. It balances the pleasantly smoky spirit with sweet vermouth.
The Rob Roy is a classic cocktail consisting primarily of whiskey and vermouth, plus a dash of bitters. For this version, we used smoky Scotch, a combination of sweet and dry vermouth, and just enough maple syrup to round out those warming flavors without making the drink too sweet.
The classic Rob Roy (sweet vermouth, scotch, a dash of bitters and a maraschino cherry) is pretty delicious on its own. The sweetness of the vermouth cuts smoky intensity of neat scotch. But for holiday's sake, a twist: replace the maraschino cherry with tart cranberries and add simple syrup flavored with cranberries, orange, vanilla and brown sugar.
