Ormiston I agree. We're not trying to jazz it up with a fancy name.

Leftover fruit seems to be an acceptable culinary And ok for infusions:

I was under the impression that that was Justin's explanation of what Scotch de restos was. If that is the text to be translated in full, I agree with you.
philgoddard Mar 12:
I think we have all the details we need, including a list of ingredients and the word 'frutas'.
Rick Larg Mar 12:
Mmm Remains / leftovers of what? I think more detail is required here...including the word fruit!
philgoddard Mar 12:
They made it up That's why there are no Google hits for it. How you deal with it will depend on the context - it might best be left in Spanish, especially since even a non-Spanish speaker might be able to work out that 'restos' means remains or leftovers.

Scotch de restos (Scotch with bits and pieces)

Or 'Scotch with leftovers'. See the discussion box.

I think you should normally leave food and drink names in the source language if they don't have an exact English translation, and follow this with a brief explanation if necessary.

Scotch tutti frutti

I think "tutti-frutti" could be an option (Italian for "all fruit"), as I find it more appealing than "leftovers", which doesn't sound very tempting.

PS: "restos" sounds equally unappetising, according to my Spanish colleague.

neutral philgoddard : 'Restos' isn't appealing either. You should do a literal translation rather than trying to reinvent the drink, and you should leave the Spanish in because otherwise the sentence makes no sense. They don't call it 'tutti frutti', they call it 'de restos'.

That's your opinion, to which your are entitled.
