2 oz Jameson Black Barrel
Stir all ingredients over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with an orange slice.
The Irish Whiskey Old-Fashioned is in their signature style, modern interpretations of great 19th century classics – in this case, a merge of the Old-Fashioned and the Whiskey Cocktail. Jack McGarry, bartender at the Dead Rabbit, created this drink with his guests’ needs in mind, who generally take their tipples stirred, without too many frills.
The use of Benedictine in this somewhat herbaceous whiskey cocktail balances the strength of the drink with a hint of sweetness. Swap your typical post-work whiskey and an ice cube for this – so easy, yet such an upgrade from the ordinary.
