Wild Irish Rose
The Story
I was looking for recipes featuring Irish Whiskey and wasn't finding what I wanted, so I tried taking the Wildest Redhead recipe and swapping out the Scotch for Irish Whiskey. I was not disappointed. This is just one example of many where you can "riff" on a recipe by switching out one spirit for another. I searched to see if this variation had a name and came up empty, so I named it the Wild Irish Rose.
Ingredients
2 oz Irish Whiskey (Jameson)
¾ oz Lemon Juice
½ oz Honey Syrup (3:1)
¼ oz Allspice Dram
¼ oz Cherry Heering
Preparation
Add everything but the Cherry Heering to a cocktail shaker with ice
Shake for 8-10 seconds
Double strain into a lowball with a large ice cube
Pour the Cherry Heering on top of the ice cube, it should sink to the bottom.
If you don't have a large ice cube, pour the Cherry Heering over a barspoon so it does not mix into the rest of the cocktail. An inverse "float".
