📜 History

The Rob Roy was created at the Hotel Waldorf in New York City in 1894 to celebrate the premiere of the operetta Rob Roy, and is named after the Scottish folk hero Robert Roy MacGregor. It is essentially a Manhattan made with Scotch whisky in place of rye or bourbon. Non-alcoholic versions work well because the blend of NA whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters provides the herbal complexity the drink is known for. The NA Rob Roy is a natural entry in any zero-proof whiskey guide.
