Blarney Stone
If you like the idea of a Manhattan-style Irish whiskey cocktail with a hint of licorice, the BLARNEY STONE will hit the spot. It features a delicious whiskey base that keeps you interested with each sip. The Pernod makes its presence known, as does the Cointreau. But Irish whiskey and maraschino cherry juice lead us back to the Manhattan, or a variation of it, anyway.
Requirements: Irish whiskey, Cointreau, Pernod or other anise-flavored liqueur, maraschino juice or liqueur, lemon twist
- 2 oz. Irish whiskey
- 1/4 oz. Cointreau
- 1/4 oz. Pernod
- 1/4 oz. maraschino juice (from the jar) or liqueur
- lemon twist for garnish
Rim a chilled cocktail glass with a lemon twist and drop it into the glass. Combine the other ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass and stir for 30-60 seconds. Strain into the chilled glass. Enjoy.
Comments: The Pernod flavor pairs well with Cointreau and maraschino juice, creating a pleasing balance.
