- Nose
- Irish whiskey and lemon peel sit over a more straightforward bitters-and-sugar frame than No. 1.
- Palate
- The drink returns Irish whiskey to the plain aromatic cocktail mode, without vermouth or acid phosphate complication.
- Finish
- The finish is warm, spiced, and tidy.
- Summary
- A simple Irish-whiskey branch of the classic aromatic cocktail.
Placed beside No. 1, this recipe is useful because it shows how one book could preserve both the older plain cocktail model and a newer vermouth-and-acidulated branch under the same national label.
This is the more orthodox old cocktail expression of Irish whiskey; the drink depends on clean seasoning rather than novelty ingredients.
