I took a DNA test and found out that I’m 55% Scottish. This drink combines my love for tropical cocktails with my heritage. And due to working in an Italian wine bar, I thought it was only appropriate to incorporate some Tuaca, as well. The name comes from the No True Scotsman fallacy: Person A: “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”Person B: “But my uncle Angus is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge.”Person A: “But no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”
