Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo Cocktail

August 7, 2010 by

Edinburgh really comes alive in August and if you’re visiting Edinburgh Festival, Fringe Festival, or the Royal Military Tattoo, it’s more than likely that there’ll be a wee dram of Scotch whiskey on the agenda.

But, if you’re more about cocktail hour than sipping on firewater, Ediburgh’s renowned North Bridge Bar has launched a special limited edition whiskey cocktail.

To celebrate the Diamond Jubilee Year of Edinburgh’s Royal Military Tattoo, Head Barman Andrew Watson has created the Royal Military Tattoo cocktail – a delicious mix of handmade Scottish tablet muddled with lemon and lime wedges, stirred with crushed ice and topped with Drambuie and Talisker, a 10 year old malt whiskey.

Priced at a reasonable £7, the cocktail will be available until the end of August.

Located within The Scotsman Hotel, one of Edinburgh’s leading luxury hotels, The North Bridge Brasserie & Bar is the perfect place to come and try some whiskey, as it stocks over 70 rare single malts.

The brasserie is also running a special Festival Dining menu of two or three course for lunch, pre-theatre and dinner.

The Tattoo’s 60th anniversary is set to be particularly spectacular this year, with performers from all over the world, including pipers, gymnasts, singers, dancers and a motorcycle display team.  All of this set against the backdrop of the incredible Edinburgh Castle.
