Pro Tips

📜 History

First appeared in Hugo Ensslin's "Recipes for Mixed Drinks" (1916). Named for County Tipperary in Ireland, it became famous through the WWI song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."

💚 Green Chartreuse

This intensely herbal French liqueur is potent – 110 proof with 130 herbs. A little goes a long way. The ½ oz adds complexity without overwhelming the Irish whiskey.

🥃 Whiskey Choice

A pot still Irish whiskey like Redbreast or Powers adds wonderful spice and weight. Blended Irish whiskeys like Jameson work well too.

🔀 Variations

Some recipes use equal parts of all three ingredients. Try different ratios to find your preference – more Chartreuse for herbal intensity, less for subtlety.
