Rob Roy
Rob Roy himself is considered a national hero in Scotland and is generally portrayed as a highland version of Robin Hood. There's much more to the story than that, but the fact is the cocktail isn't named for him exactly. According to Prime Magazine, the drink was created at the Waldorf Hotel sometime in the 1890s when blended Scotch became available in the U.S., and it was actually named after a Broadway play about Rob Roy. Add that little gem of cocktail trivia to your conversation the next time you enjoy this classic drink with friends.
