Your cocktail for this week’s happy hour is the sweet and smooth Drambuie and Soda!
Do you remember a few months back when I picked up a bottle of Drambuie to make the Rusty Nail for Girls? (Boy, do I love that drink!) Well, this week when I was looking for inspiration for a new cocktail, I saw that charming little brown bottle and wondered what else I could do with it. I found out that Drambuie and Cola is a thing, but I wanted to change it up a bit. Subbing lemon-lime soda for the cola did the trick! 
This cocktail is akin to the Gray and Foggy, especially since dark rum and Drambuie are both spiced spirits. I think the spices are more subtle in this scotch-based liqueur, but it is definitely sweet, smooth, and perfect for mixing.

Nom. Nom. Nom. This looks delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
You are so welcome. Thanks for stopping by!
He didn’t create it, I did 40 years ago! I have been drinking Drambuie straight up for years & decided to try it with other mixers & this was one. My favorite is with sparkling water & of course still straight up.
You have the bet drinks Andi!! I need to come to your house for happy hour!
Thanks, Tanya! I would so love to have you over :) Maybe you could bring some of those awesome thumbprint cookies!
not sure if I have drambuie in the house, but if I do (and I might from a past post of yours), this will be my Friday eve cocktail. Thanks for the recipe and good luck with your long weekend. We actually go one better with a FOUR-day weekend. You’d think they’d take away these vacation days after missing school for cold weather last week. Crazy stuff. And crazy times call for cocktails, so there you go :-)
You should get Drambuie! I would recommend buying that before Midori because this and the Rusty Nail are so, so good. You’ll need a bottle for a 4-day weekend for sure ;) Craziness!
