The drink of the day was supposed to be a
'Paddy Cocktail' from page 133 in the Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide. Unfortunately, the mixologist made an error on the first attempt and used Dry Vermouth instead of Sweet. Although the drink wasn't bad, it was not the cocktail described. So, I mixed another one correctly and it was much better. It was a little on the sweet side but quite drinkable; an Irish Whiskey Manhattan, sort of.
The recipe:
1 1/2 oz Irish Whiskey (Jameson)
1 1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 dash Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished with an orange twist.
The plaque in front of the cocktail was a souvenir of Ireland and translates to "a hundred thousand welcomes".
As the Irish say: Slainte!
