Tipperary No.1
Chartreuse fans will love this Irish whiskey-forward nightcap

This is very elegant and beautifully balanced. If we want a 'bigger' and more complex drink we substitute Cognac for the Whiskey and call it the "Tipperary Cherie".

Very nice as a nightcap. Not too boozy and on the sweet side.
Maybe something for a friend who is not into cocktails

Surprisingly soft cocktail. Not flavourless but elegant. Really like the way each ingredient stands on its own.

Lacking Irish whiskey and inspired by comments, I improvised with the following:
45ml Monkey Shoulder
15ml Carpano Antica
7.5ml Green Chartreuse
2 dashes of orange bitters
The result? A nicely balanced cocktail where each ingredient's flavor stood out.

2 dashes Angostura bitters tames the Chartreuse, I think.
Mine otherwise had Bushmills, Carpano Antico, and Green Chartreuse.

I don't want to imagine how the original equal parts version must taste, even with only 10ml, chartreuse dominates a bit too much for me...

I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me.

I liked the sound of this, but didn't have Irish whiskey so I subbed in Japanese blended whiskey. It was a solid 3.5/5, and for round 2, I used the original equal parts recipe and it was even better, 4.5/5. Definitely one I'll try again.

You have to play with the amounts to your taste but these three ingredients make one of my favorite cocktails.

With Boomsma Kloosterbitter and Carpano Antica, I...can't taste anything at ALL except vermouth. Will have to revisit this in the future. Just as a heads up.

It also works really well switching the Irish for rye whiskey…I guess that’s a less sweet greenpoint.

Lovely drink. I also went more down the Dead Rabbit path, and definitely, if you use the dashes of orange bitters, it really doesn't need any sugar syrup.

Love it. I prefer 25 ml bourbon and 30 ml red vermouth. Rest same. Import to get the orange oil from the peel squeeze

This is a great after dinner drink. You have to be a green Chartreuse fan. Have added to our favourites.

I’ve been tweaking this one a bit, and lit upon the formulation known as the Dead Rabbit version: 1 1/2 oz. Irish, 1 Sweet Vermouth, 1/2 Green Chartreuse, teaspoon sugar syrup, and 2 dashes Orange Bitters. I prefer it without the syrup, but your mileage may vary. Slainte!

Thanks Andrew. If you take 33% off of the ingredients in the Dead Rabbit version then not far different from the recipe above. I'll experiment!

Couldn't help but mess with the ratios this evening (picking back up with random revisits over the past year). Settled on 50 ml - 20 ml - 15 ml. Used Clontarf and Cinzano Rosso. Could perhaps use some more tweaking, but these measures seemed to result in the best balance and expressions.

Sweet and herby. Not worth the mix effort.

Not a huge fan - drink was imbalanced and it didn’t really come together for me.

A very good, somewhat serious drink that grows on you. I used Writer's Tears and the Vermouth in your recipe. Herbal, slightly bitter, then smoothed out by the Irish; a complex drink that is delicious.

It is indeed a serious cocktail but if you like Chartreuse it's a delicious nightcap.
