What does the acronym for Rob Roy refer to?

The correct choice refers to a well-known figure in Scottish folklore, Rob Roy MacGregor, who is often compared to Robin Hood in terms of his status as a folk hero and outlaw. The Rob Roy cocktail, which is made with Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and bitters, is named after him. This highlights the cultural connection between cocktail naming and historical or legendary figures.

The other options do not accurately reflect the historical context behind the cocktail's name. While one might think of red wine or whisky enthusiasts being associated with this drink, the direct association is with Rob Roy MacGregor's legacy rather than those more generic descriptors.
