  • I put in half the curry power and used a home-made Malay curry (the amount you need will vary enormously). I thought this was really nice and not overpowered.
  • Gin- sweet, spice

  • Shouldn't work but does somehow. Don't get much to the pound but could see it as a punch and/or with something fizzy added — ★★★★

  • Used Slane. Substituted rosemary simple in place of honey syrup which was a nice complement to the subtle yet supportive background. — ★★★★★
  • Great balance and a cool way to involve Irish whiskey.
  • Lovely warming whisky sour variation. — ★★★★

yarm commented on 10/31/2019:

When I joined Russell House Tavern in 2013, the drink was still on the menu but with Jameson. The name revolves around how some thought it a sacrilege to mix with Irish whiskey, but those in the know had dubbed this one the "Sacrilicious." I believe that the drink finally left the menu in 2014 coinciding with John leaving the bar team (there was a tradition that your drink generally left the menu along with you).

  • Pretty good. Used Regan's orange, which was unusually dominant—will need to try it again and see if that remains the case.
