The Tipperary Cocktail Recipe

The Tipperary is the Irish cousin of the classic Manhattan. It swaps bourbon or rye with Irish whiskey, for a smoother, less spicy cocktail.

This recipe uses equal parts whiskey, Chartreuse, and vermouth for a balanced flavor and easy sipping. Jameon Original adds plenty of flavor and complexity when paired with the sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters, taking this elegant drink to new heights. If you’re in the mood for a classic cocktail give the Tipperary a try!

About the Tipperary

There’s a history lesson behind this elegant drink, beginning with its first appearance in Hugo R. Ensslin’s 1917 book, Recipes for Mixed Drinks. The story tells how a guest walked into a pub and asked for a drink while humming the song “It’s a Long Road to Tipperary.” During World War I, this song was an anthem for homesick Irish soldiers serving in the British army.

Of course, a drink named for Tipperary county in Ireland, would feature Irish whiskey. Its intricate balance of herbal sweetness and tangy dryness makes it perfect for those who enjoy a stiff concoction.
