Tipperary is a member of the Whiskey Sour family, a sophisticated twist on the classic. Born in Dublin around 1910, this cocktail blends the boldness of Irish whiskey with the herbal sweetness of green Chartreuse and vermouth, a timeless combination for a balanced, refreshing drink.
The Tipperary is a complex cocktail with a rich, bittersweet profile. The Irish whiskey provides a smooth, warming base with hints of spice and barley. Sweet vermouth adds a touch of sweetness and herbal notes, while Green Chartreuse introduces a unique herbal complexity, including hints of mint and citrus. The result is a balanced and surprisingly refreshing drink with a lingering finish.
When crafting a Tipperary, remember the green Chartreuse is the star. Use a good quality Irish whiskey for depth, but let the Chartreuse shine. Chill the vermouth and Chartreuse beforehand for a crisp, balanced flavor. Don’t over-shake; a gentle stir preserves the delicate aromatics. Garnish with a lemon twist for a citrusy accent.
