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.
