The Robbie Burns (AKA Bobbie Burns) is a Scotch whisky based-cocktail in honour of Robert Burns, Scotland’s favourite poet. Burns night, for the unfamiliar, is in effect a second national day that entails Scotch drinking, haggis eating, and bagpipe-wielding. The Robbie Burns flavour is reminiscent of the Rob Roy cocktail. Substitute a brand of anisette liqueur for the Absinthe.
