Seven Lucky St. Patrick’s Day Cocktails

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with these lucky seven Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey cocktails from William Grant & Sons, a family-owned distillery of award-winning spirits. Known the world over for its smooth and gentle complexity, Tullamore D.E.W. is a triple distilled, triple blended whiskey dating all the way to 1829 when the Tullamore Distillery was founded in Tullamore, County Offaly, in the heart of Ireland. Tullamore D.E.W. is Irish True!

 

THREE FUN FACTS ABOUT ST. PATRICK’S DAY

1. The shamrock represents the holy Trinity; the three-leaved plant was frequently used by St. Patrick to explain how it worked.

2. The shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade was in Hot Springs Arkansas and it was 98 feet long.

3. The White House fountain goes green on St. Patrick’s Day

2 parts Tullamore D.E.W. Original
¾ parts Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
¾ parts Honey Syrup

Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled shaker. Shake until well chilled, about 10 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled double old fashioned glass.

Many Waters – created by Tim Herlihy, National Tullamore D.E.W. Ambassador

Coconut Water

Iced Irish Coffee – created by Tim Herlihy, National Tullamore D.E.W. Ambassador

2 parts Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey
1 teaspoon ground espresso
2 teaspoons demerara sugar
3 parts cold brew coffee
Fresh cream

Combine whiskey and espresso in a small bowl; let stand 15 minutes. Strain whiskey through a coffee filter into a cocktail shaker.
Meanwhile, stir sugar and 2 tsp. hot water in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add demerara syrup and cold brew to cocktail shaker; fill with ice. Shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice and top with cream.

Irish Coffee – created by Tim Herlihy, National Tullamore D.E.W. Ambassador

1 ½ parts Tullamore D.E.W. Original
1 ½ parts strongly brewed coffee (Tim’s Pick: any premium dark roast)
½ part sugar (Tim’s Pick: Demerara Sugar)
Lightly whipped heavy cream
Cinnamon or nutmeg

Preheat a clear-stemmed glass with very hot water. Add the sugar and brewed coffee and stir well. Once sugar has melted, stir in the Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey. Gently whip the heavy cream by shaking it in a protein shaker with a blender ball – you want a still somewhat loose, not stiff consistency. Pour the cream over the back of a hot teaspoon to top the drink (and prevent cream from penetrating the top of the drink). Finally, garnish with grated nutmeg or cinnamon for spicy finish.

Three New Whiskies to Welcome Autumn

The world’s leading distiller of Scotch whisky, William Grant & Sons, is excited to highlight three new whisky releases just in time for the cooler months ahead.

Glenfiddich Winter Storm, part of the Glenfiddich Experimental Series of unusual and unexpected variants, is the first-ever single malt Scotch to be finished in ice wine casks. The combination of both pioneering liquids results in a crisp, premium whisky aged 21 years, imbued with a unique layer of sweetness and complexity. Taste the heightened candied sweets and oak flavor of Glenfiddich, complemented by mouth-watering tropical fruit notes and an underlying rich drying sensation from the ice wine cask finish. (SRP: $250) www.glenfiddich.com

 

The Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 4 is the fourth bottling in the highly regarded Tun 1509 series that marries 23 casks – 13 traditional American oak barrels and 10 European oak sherry butts – in a true expression of whisky craft. The use of both traditional casks and Sherry butts, results in a complex and rich expression that has an initial sweetness that gradually develops into deeper richer oak with some dried fruits and a cinnamon and ginger spiciness. (SRP: $399) www.thebalvenie.com

 

Tullamore D.E.W., the original triple distilled, triple blend Irish whiskey, recently released Cider Cask whiskey. This new sophisticated spirit is a marriage between the craft of small-batch cider-making and Tullamore D.E.W’s legendary whiskey. This soon-to-be your new seasonal favorite, is the first whiskey to be finished in hard apple cider casks giving it a taste as rich as it looks with a lovely balance of oak, creamy malt and subtle fruitiness. (SRP: $39.99) www.tullamoredew.com

 

Bad Apple D.E.W.

1 ½ parts Tullamore D.E.W. Cider Cask

1 ½ parts Hard Apple Cider

½ parts fresh lemon juice

½ parts simple syrup

4-5 mint leaves

1 dash Angostura bitters

 

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, fill with ice and shake. Double strain into rocks-filled highball. Garnish with mint sprig.
