  • 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.

MOJO1229 commented on 6/10/2016:

<br />A surprisingly pleasant drink, one that goes down easily in a hot, late afternoon, just before dinner, or one to drink at a barbeque. I used an Aquivit by Linie, not North Shore. I have little experience with Aquivits to know if there is much difference between Linie and North Shore. Regardless, I recommend this drink to those who like Aquivit. Dolin vermouth is one of my favorites vermouths (it is in the $16 range), and I recommend the Dolin vermouths heartily. My only suggestion for this drink is to use a skinny 1/2 oz Galliano. A full 1/2 oz of Galliano tends to overwhelm the other ingredients and make for a drink that some may find too sweet. Other than that, make and enjoy!

Shawn C commented on 5/01/2023:

Adjusted to suit my tastes: 1.5 oz Ahus Akvavit (didn't have North Shore and wanted more base spirit), 1 oz Comoz vermouth (to reduce the sweetness from blanc), 1/2 Galliano L'Autentico (at the end of the bottle and has lost some punch), 2 ds B.T. celery bitters. This made for a nice combo of richer white grape, and herbal from caraway/celery/anise, with some vanilla to round it out. With my adjustments I would give it 3.5/5--worth coming back to when in the mood.
