A riff on a Oriental, mellowed by the use of Irish whiskey in place of American rye whiskey

Excellent balance of flavors, not too simple, not too complicated. Works well with the distinct flavors of Irish whiskey.

Just made this with Glendalough Double Barrel, Cointreau, & Dolin Rouge and I really like it. I'm getting "barrel"/whiskey notes up front, then the lime and a subtle orange come in, finished up by the herbal notes from the vermouth. I've gone through 150+ recipes here so far and I think this is a Top 10 for me right now.

That's a very pleasant cocktail.

I started off thinking I had all the ingredients but I didn't. So I used dry Vermouth, maybe 1 oz (was making for 2) and ¼ oz of amaretto, ¼ oz of lime and lemon. Very smooth and very more-ish.

Also a pleasant surprise for me and indeed refreshing

I enjoyed this but found it too whiskey forward for my taste. I prefer the flavor profile of the Oriental Cocktail.

Many thanks for the feedback, Beth. I've added an explanation of the similarity between the two cocktails and a link above. I've also added a quote saying the same from Gary's book.
