Irish Wolfhound - Irish Whiskey Cocktail
Posted by Irish Whiskey USA on
Irish Wolfhounds are beautiful, gentle dogs that have inspired Irish literature, mythology, folklore, and whiskey. Brands like Tullamore Dew and Limavady feature the iconic dog as part of their brand image. It's not surprising that an Irish Whiskey cocktail would be named for this magnificent animal. This cocktail is the perfect summer refresher utilizing sweet, tart grapefruit juice. Pour yourself a bowl to stay cool during the dog days of August.
- 2 oz blended Irish Whiskey
- 2 oz ginger beer
- 1 oz Pink grapefruit juice
INSTRUCTIONS

-
Stir for 10 seconds

Sherry finish blends like Black Bush or Tullamore Dew (the Wolfhound whiskey) compared to bourbon matured blends can be balanced with use of yellow grapefruit. Salting the rim is another potential option.
