This old timer’s whisky cocktail is shorthand for the Whisky Macdonald, so named for a Colonel Hector MacDonald, who first crafted the drink while serving during the British Raj in India. It’s a simple combination of blended scotch and Stone's Original Green Ginger Wine , a fortified wine described on the bottle as a "ginger flavored currant wine" with a 13.5 percent ABV.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounce blended scotch
  • 1 ounce Stone's Original green ginger wine

Steps

  1. Pour the ingredients over ice into a rocks glass and stir lightly.
