This mildly elaborate Collins-style drink offers a tasty study in contrasts. The sweetness of the Rock and Rye is balanced by the light smokiness of the Scotch, while the tartness of the lemon and the bitter Campari provide accent notes. The pomegranate of the savory grenadine finds a kindred spirit in the cherry flavors lurking within the rock and rye. Yet, for all the complexity, this is a straightforward refresher at the end of the day. —Robert Simonson
