Etymology
Drambuie likely comes from the Scottish Gaelic phrase an dram buidheach, which means 'the drink that satisfies' or a 'grateful dram'. The part dram is also an English word for a small drink, so that's a helpful memory: Drambuie is a sweet, pleasing little liqueur made from Scotch whisky, honey, and herbs.
