Scotch de restos (Scotch with bits and pieces)
Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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'.
