So, is it a coincidence that National Scotch Day falls on a Friday?

Answer: Yes, but the coincidence works out well. Now you can knock down a few after you leave work for the weekend, just like they do in 1950s movies where men worked in suits.

The first drink that comes to mind when I hear the word Scotch (besides Scotch on the Rocks, of course), is Scotch and Soda. Here's a recipe (it's scotch and, um, soda). Here's a recipe for a Blood and Sand, from the 1922 Rudolph Valentino movie. Actually, here's a whole page of Scotch recipes. Please be aware that some of the drink names on that page are NSFSEAE -- not safe for senstive ears and eyes. You've been warned.

Don't forget the history of Scotch Whiskey.

A pedant note. Scotch whisky is spelled without an "e".
