Irish Cocktail
Stir well and strain into an icy cold glass and this subtly flavoured whiskey cocktail is a delicious way to chase a good evening

I searched for dry whiskey cocktails and Difford’s delivered. The only Irish I have on hand is Jameson’s stout edition. It works well in this drink, and I find m’self wondering how this drink will be with, say, Redbreast. “Oh stick to the craithur, the best thing in nature for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys.”

Revisited this after a lengthy absence and followed the recipe this time; wow, what a difference. Using Difford's amounts, this must have the tiniest proportion of non-base-liquor ingredients of any cocktail I've made, so I used it to show off my best craithur (Redbreast 12-year-old), with excellent results. Also used Cheritelli, which has a bit more cherry flavor than most maraschinos. Directions are sketchy but I assume one is supposed to express the orange zest over the drink *before* discarding, though I folded & put it on the sword with the green olive (green on top). Just enough fancy to turn a glass of Irish into a cocktail. Slainte!

Would this be considered a variation on an Improved Whiskey Cocktail?

Yes, good observation. I've added links between the two cocktails. Thanks, John.

This is outstanding. Smooth, subtle flavours. Taste of the Irish Whiskey is nicely present.
