Irish Whisky Cocktail

Olga and I spent this afternoon at the LSU/Ole Miss men's tennis match; won by LSU.

After a day of playing and then watching tennis, I chose an 'Irish Whisky Cocktail'.

The recipe (page no. 102 from the Bartender's Guide):

1/2 teaspoon Triple Sec (LeRoux)
1/2 teaspoon Absinthe Substitute (Pernod)
1/4 teaspoon Maraschino (Luxardo)
1 dash bitters
2 oz Irish Whisky (Jameson)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Serve with an olive.

 The drink was quite good. You could still taste the Irish Whisky but the other ingredients reduced the harshness a lot. It's good enough to repeat.


Enjoy!
