I've reduced the quantities originally specified by a third for sobriety and added an optional splash of sugar syrup for balance.

Ahhh, great minds and all that. I too decided some time ago to reduce this delicious drink's specs by one-third, not only for sobriety but also since this usually is but one of several Irish Whiskey-based drinks I'll make during an afternoon get together. Smaller drinks allow for more drinks! (Thus far, I've omitted the simple syrup, as in, I believe, the original recipe.)
