# Scotch Cocktails from Johnnie Walker and Friends *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated February 2019* International Scotch Day was a few weeks ago but do you really need an excuse to enjoy Scotch? While I enjoy Scotch neat or on the rocks, I'm impressed with the trend of Scotch cocktails that has been emerging recently. Some good stuff can be made with a well-done little goldie, and the Johnnie Walker brand has both a red and a black label that’ll do the trick. Here’s some mixes you should try to celebrate the fact that there’s an International Scotch Day.   ## Ginger Saffron Collins Created by Mixologist Daniel Guillen Ingredients: - 1.5 oz. Johnnie Walker Red Label - 0.75 oz. Ginger saffron syrup* - 0.75 oz. lemon juice - 1 muddled toasted chile de arbol pepper - Top club soda Preparation: In a shaker muddle gently the chile de arbol pepper to release the oils and aroma. Pour the juice, syrup and Johnnie Walker Red into the shaker tin. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain cocktail into a Collins glass with cracked ice.
