Frisky Whiskey
St. Patrick’s Day is arguably the most famous drinking holiday, at least in the United States, and there are more than a few cocktails that celebrate it—there’s the Irish Shot, Irish Coffee and the Tipperary, for starts. However, you don’t need the excuse of an over-indulgent holiday to mix an Irish whiskey cocktail. Though the spirit family is less commonly used in drinks than its American counterparts like bourbon and rye, the wide-ranging world of Irish whiskey lends itself well to cocktail bartending.
