Tipperary
Irish whiskey trinity
A stirred Irish whiskey cocktail with Green Chartreuse and sweet vermouth. Herbal, warming, and deeply complex — the Manhattan's Celtic cousin with a monastic twist.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Irish Whiskey
- 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
- 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse
- 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Method
Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled and properly diluted. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
Documented in Hugo R. Ensslin, Recipes for Mixed Drinks, 1916 — Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, and green Chartreuse in equal parts. Per IBA (New Era list); Difford's Guide #1958. Notes: the proportions evolved through Harry MacElhone's 1922 emphasis on whiskey; modern preparations vary between Difford's three-ingredient version and the IBA's official New Era formula, which adds 2 dashes Angostura bitters; BN follows the IBA standard with Angostura, though the original Ensslin omits it.
