Mixed Drinks With Scotch Whiskey

Scotch whiskey can be used in several cocktails.

Scotch whiskey has traditionally not been a cocktail mixer. It is usually drunk neat, on the rocks or with a splash of water. But in recent years, using Scotch in a cocktail has grown in popularity. As a good quality whiskey, Scotch pairs nicely in several mixed drinks, especially cocktails with fruit juices. Does this Spark an idea?
