📜 History

The Bairn is a classic Scotch cocktail whose name is the Scottish and Northern English word for "child." The drink is believed to have originated around 1953 and has been associated with Cointreau's promotional materials for decades. Its combination of blended Scotch, orange liqueur, and orange bitters keeps the drink tightly focused on a rich citrus-and-whisky theme, making it an approachable spirit-forward serve for Scotch newcomers and enthusiasts alike.
