Question: 1 / 400

What garnish is used for a Perfect Rob Roy?

Twist of lemon

A Perfect Rob Roy typically includes both sweet and dry vermouth, and the traditional garnish for this cocktail is indeed a twist of lemon. The lemon twist adds a bright, citrusy aroma that enhances the drink's flavor profile. The oils from the lemon peel released during the twisting process create a fragrant aroma that complements the whisky, while also providing a visual appeal to the cocktail. This garnish engages the senses, making it an integral aspect of the drinking experience.

While cherries and olives are common garnishes for other whisky-based cocktails, they do not align with the classic presentation of a Perfect Rob Roy. The mint leaf is also less typical for this cocktail, emphasizing the particular sophistication that the lemon twist brings to the drink.
