About the Camerons Kick
Harry MacElhone printed it in ABC of Mixing Cocktails (1922). It's one of very few classics to split the base between Scotch and Irish whiskey.
Missing something?
- No Scotch Whisky? Use Johnnie Walker Scotch (Johnnie Walker is a blended Scotch)
- No Scotch Whisky? Use Irish Whiskey (Lighter and less smoky)
- No Irish Whiskey? Use Crown Royal (Similarly light and smooth)
- No Irish Whiskey? Use Scotch Whisky (Pick an unpeated blend)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
