Pro Tips

📜 History

First published in Harry McElhone's "Harry's ABC of Mixing Cocktails" (1922). The unusual combination of Irish and Scotch whisky creates a unique flavor profile that highlights the best of both spirits.

🌰 Orgeat

This almond syrup is essential – don't substitute simple syrup. Quality brands include Small Hand Foods and Liber & Co. Or make your own with blanched almonds, sugar, and orange flower water.

🥃 Whisky Balance

The smooth Irish whiskey tempers the Scotch's assertiveness, while the Scotch adds depth to the Irish. Together they create something greater than the sum of their parts.
