We love a cocktail at Alba, so we’ve asked mixologists from across Scotland to share the recipe for their signature drink. We’ll update the list regularly, so if you’re a cocktail fan, make sure you save this page. And please let us know if you’ve come across any bars or drinks worth shouting about in the comments section below. We’ll check them out ourselves, and add the best of them to our list. Slainte mhath!

That Macallan Fine Oak 21 Years Old (almost always well over $1000-1500 a bottle now) is quite the outlier in that pic. Celerity 19 hrs ago #2

The rest are all near entry-level single malts.

My preference is the Laphroaig 10-year but I was too lazy to search for another pic. Slàinte mhath!
