Crazy Cocktail Recipe: Scotch and Milk, Baby!

i'm not understanding the babyish repulsion at the thought of scotch and milk!?! and why mention "black prostitutes"???? white folks...

My parents used to make this for New Year's Eve and thus my search for the correct ratios. My dad would crack ice into a blender then mix up the milk and scotch.

Pretty sure this drink is mentioned in James Baldwin's story "Sonny's Blues."

I am a scotch drinker single malt usually. My mother used to drink this when I was small along with something my parents called a "salty Dog" which was gin or vodka with grapefruit juice and salt?? I have never tried scotch and milk but I think I will pick up a bottle of my favorite scotch tomorrow anf give it a go........

We've learned a lot since we wrote this story a few years ago and we'll say - there is a place in the world for a scotch and milk punch.

The people above saying, "disgusting!" also mention that they'll never try it. It's shortsighted, dense, and not at all adventurous to say those things -- far from the attitude someone looking to try new spirits and cocktails should have. If we never ate or imbibed things which lacked an immediate, obvious appeal, none of us would ever have tried lobster either. As others have pointed out above, this drink is similar in some ways to a year-round eggnog sans eggs, especially with a pinch of nutmeg added. With some honey stirred in, it even approaches a desert. One last thing: everything in this drink calms the stomach and there was a time when it was used as a pre-sleep nightcap. The comments by the staff that it made them "more than a little nauseous" is certainly the result of one guy saying it was gross and everyone else bandwagoning. It wouldn't have made everyone in the room sick. Drink with an open mind, LiquorSnob staff, not with a schoolyard mentality.

the great lawrence taylor loved scotch and milk, chivas to be exact

Hey all, I thought that this was something that i had done that was unique, but i guess not. I usually drink it before i go to bed, to help me sleep, Microwave 6oz milk stir in honey and then scotch. I sleep so well after.

just saw christina ricci pour milk into her straight mccallens..in "miranda"

Eggnog without the eggs. Without the poison from bad eggs.

I like scotch and chocolate milk. Already sweet and with chocolatey goodness and the spice of the scotch. There's also a chocolate scotch cake that's pretty good. Like german chocolate with a kick!

Forgot to tell you my recipe: loss the sugar!!!!cupcakes all you need is a glass of ice 5 to 6 cubes 2oz of scotch (always pour your scotch first or it will spoil your milk)then add your cold milk to taste once again enjoy!!

Scotch -n- Milk ONE of my favorites. I'm a young man with no ulcers but i still love the drink.My grandfather use to sit up and watch the ball games with me while sipping his Johnnie walker and milk. FYI the type of scotch matters when it comes to the taste i like johnnie,chivas or dewars!!! enjoy!

In the late 60's I had a co-worker in Boston who said she and her husband both drank it all the time. I've never tried it and I'm not about to.

No mention of Charlie "Bird" Parker? That's where I heard of it. He was a fan of this drink, atleast in his film. If it's not bourbon or rye, why not mix it?

i just saw a scotch and milk being served in a restaraunt on the food network... thats what brought me here.

must be a southern thing i am i thinking

Aahh fellow scotch lovers... the milk and scotch is actually pretty smooth IF you substitute honey for the sugar and the milk is ICE COLD... really ICE COLD! A 9 oz. high ball glass is the perfect size. My recipe (which I erroneously thought I invented)is 1 oz. scotch... go ahead make it a good scotch... add about 6 oz milk... add honey to taste stirring well. If you have room, add more cold milk. This is not unlike a grasshopper or chocolate martini. Using real milk and not skim milk helps, too.

lol, im watching the same csi episode and did the same exact thing, for the same reason. Jinx!

Just thought I'd mention this drink was also mentioned in an episode of CSI which I am watching right now (hence my scotch and milk search which ultimately led me to this page). They suggested that the drink was preferred by those with ulcers too, so as disgusting as this may seem, this drink appears to be a popular one. An acquired taste perhaps?

Scotch and Milk is also found in the short story by James Baldwin, "Sonny's Blues"

The narrator of Vitamins, a story by Raymond Carver, drinks Scotch and milk.

The Dean Koontz novel, "The Door to December," a few pages into chapter 32, has two of the bad guys sitting in a cabin in the Sierras drinking scotch and milk just before the poltergeist gets them.

I was just watching the "New Centurians" on TV and at some point of the movie the Cops pick up a bunch of black prostitutes who all request "scotch and milk"

FYI

i came across the simple 'scotch and milk' formula in a short story by Phillip K. Dick, called 'The Pre-Person'. Thought id look it up befor i tryed it, glad i did.

That's just friggin' disgusting.
