Tipperary
An Irish riff on the Bijou that swaps gin for Irish whiskey, creating a warmer, rounder cocktail. Named for the famous World War I marching song, this pre-Prohibition classic deserves its recent revival.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Irish whiskey
- 1 oz Green Chartreuse
- 1 oz Sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- orange peel twist (garnish) garnish
Pairs With
Serve with creamy Irish cheese, smoked salmon, or corned beef on rye to honor the whiskey's warmth and the drink's Celtic heritage. The rounder profile pairs well with comfort-forward, traditional flavors.
Instructions
Add Irish whiskey, green Chartreuse, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice
Stir steadily for 30 seconds until well-chilled
Strain into a chilled coupe glass
Express an orange peel over the drink by squeezing it skin-side down
Drop the orange peel twist into the glass
Tips
A pot-still Irish whiskey like Redbreast 12 adds richness and spice that pairs wonderfully with the Chartreuse Some recipes call for equal parts, but the whiskey-forward ratio here keeps the drink balanced and approachable Make sure your sweet vermouth is fresh — once opened, vermouth should be refrigerated and used within a month
