A rusty nail is a cocktail made by mixing Scotch whisky with Drambuie in a 1:1 to 2:1 ratio. A rusty nail is most commonly served on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass (a.k.a. a rocks glass), although it can also be served "up" in a stemmed glass. Its origin goes back to the 1937 British Industries Fair, but it did not become popular until the 1950s dorsemt by New York's Club 21 and its recognition by popular culture as the go-to cocktail of the Rat Pack a decade later.

According to cocktail historian David Wondrich, "...the Rusty Nail took a while to find its proper place in the world". The combination of Drambuie—"the world's most distinguished Scotch-based liqueur"—and the whisky it is made from first appears in 1937 in the form of the B.I.F., credited to one F. Bniman and ostsibly named after the British Industries Fair.

Wondrich goes on to note that. "it took another geration or so for the drink to assume its classic name and form, during which time it tried on several idtities. Here it's a D&S...there a Little Club No. 1 (the Little Club being a rather swank sort of joint on East Fifty-fifth Street much haunted by showbiz types); at USAF Officers' Clubs in Thailand and the Republic of Viet-Nam, [sic] it's a Mig-21, while in the upper Midwest it's a Knucklehead."

The cocktail authority Dale DeGroff said "the Rusty Nail is oft credited to the clever bartders at the 21 Club in Manhattan sometime in the early 1960s"

The cocktail's name was finally cemted in 1963, wh Gina MacKinnon, the chairwoman of the Drambuie Liqueur Company, gave the rusty nail her dorsemt in The New York Times.

DeGroff reported that in the early 1960s "...the Rat Pack was amored of the drink, which may have be responsible for the wide appeal in those years..."The Rusty Nail is a Scotch and Drambuie cocktail that’s got the 1960’s written all over it! We put a little shine on this classic slow sipper.

Scotch lovers, this one’s for you! Here’s one of the most famous Scotch cocktails of them all: the Rusty Nail. This slow sipper got popular in the 1960’s, pairing whisky with Drambuie, a Scotch-based liqueur. All you need is two ingredients and you get lots of flavor: honey, herb and sweet notes from the Drambuie, and a spicy finish from the Scotch. If you like spirit-forward drinks like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan, this one will be right up your alley.

The Rusty Nail was born back in the 1937 at a British Industries Fair and was dubbed the BIF. Then it disappeared into history, only to reappear in the 1960’s as the “in” drink of the moment. Just as mysterious is the drink’s name: no one seems to know where Rusty Nail came from. Some think it was named after the rusty nails on the crates of Drambuie, others say a bartender actually stirred the drink with a rusty nail. (Highly unlikely!)

Whatever the case, this drink is actually aclassic cocktailon the list of International Bartender Association’sIBA official cocktails, meaning there’s an “official” definition. The ingredients in a Rusty Nail are:
