When John Jameson’s hardworking coopers were taking apart old barrels, they’d hide the last little drop of whiskey in an innocent-looking teapot for themselves. Summer cocktails aren’t usually named in honour of 200-year-old traditions but this refreshing drink is different. For one thing, while predominately an apple juice recipe, tea actually plays a big part in creating its unique taste. Serving 10-12 people and including Jameson Irish Whiskey, honey and cucumber, this is a perfect party drink that will surprise as many as it satisfies.
