Change measure

This is my preferred way of making a Rob Roy. The first sip is really strong, but as you drink it the crushed ice melts and it gets sweeter, more like a dessert than a Manhattan.

Method

Pour dry vermouth into a chilled cocktail glass and swirl it to coat the inside. Dump the excess and let it sit for about 10 seconds. Then fill the glass with crushed ice. In a mixing glass place a scoop of ice and the scotch. Be quick to stir once and strain into the glass so the scotch doesn't bruise. Then hard pour the grenadine over the top and serve.
