Product Details
Monkey Shoulder The Original is a smooth and versatile blended malt Scotch whisky created with mixing in mind. Rich malt, vanilla, soft spice and gentle oak give it enough character for cocktails while keeping the flavour approachable and balanced.
Its rounded style makes it especially well suited to cocktails such as the Penicillin, Rob Roy and Blood and Sand.
Why We Chose It
Monkey Shoulder works particularly well as a cocktail Scotch because it is flavourful without being aggressively smoky. Its malt sweetness, vanilla and light spice remain noticeable alongside lemon, honey, ginger, vermouth and liqueurs.
Best Cocktails with Monkey Shoulder
- Penicillin — Scotch whisky, fresh lemon, honey and ginger, traditionally finished with smoky Islay whisky.
- Rob Roy — Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters.
- Blood and Sand — Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur and orange juice.
- Godfather — Scotch whisky and Amaretto.
- Scotch Sour — Scotch whisky, fresh lemon and sugar syrup.
Drinkero Recommends
For a Penicillin, use Monkey Shoulder as the main whisky with fresh lemon, honey and ginger. Finish with a small amount of peated Islay Scotch for the smoky aroma that defines the cocktail.

FAQ
How does the cocktail builder work?
Choose a cocktail, select how many drinks you want to make, and Drinkero calculates the quantities you need. You can then review every ingredient, choose between available products and remove anything you already have.
Can I choose how many cocktails I want to make?
Yes. Choose your guest count and the ingredient quantities are automatically adjusted for you, so you do not need to calculate bottles, mixers or servings yourself.
Can I remove ingredients I already have?
Absolutely. Every component can be reviewed individually. If you already have an ingredient at home, simply leave it out and only order what you need.
Can I choose different brands or upgrade ingredients?
Where alternatives are available, you can choose the bottle or product you prefer. This lets you keep the classic recipe or upgrade individual ingredients to make the cocktail your way.
Are the cocktails delivered pre-mixed?
No. All ingredients are delivered in their original, sealed bottles and packaging — we never rebottle or pre-measure them. Drinkero calculates the quantities you need and selects enough products for your chosen number of cocktails. You mix and serve the drinks fresh at home.
What about fresh ingredients and ice?
Ingredients that are better bought fresh locally, such as fresh mint, limes or ice, are clearly marked in the builder. We still calculate how much you need, so you have a complete shopping and preparation guide.
