3 Saint Patrick’s Day cocktails by Caledonia Spirits
‘A hop skip and a jump to Tipperary’
This is a play on the classic Tipperary cocktail, which is made with Irish Whiskey. The story behind the classic drink, which first appeared in Hugo R. Ensslin’s 1917 book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks, is that a guest walked in, asked for a drink, and was humming the song “It’s a Long Road to Tipperary,” which was an anthem for homesick Irish soldiers in the British army during World War I.
1.5 oz Barr Hill Gin
0.75 oz green chartreuse
0.75 oz sweet vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
Combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice, stir, then strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
