Tipperary

A forgotten gem of the pre-Prohibition era, the Tipperary is a stirred whiskey cocktail that pairs the malty warmth of Irish whiskey with the lush sweetness of vermouth and the bold, herbal complexity of Green Chartreuse.

From the Bartender

The Tipperary first appeared in Hugo Ensslin's 1916 'Recipes for Mixed Drinks' and is one of the earliest cocktails to feature Green Chartreuse as a modifier. Dropping the Angostura bitters - which are not traditional to the original recipe - lets the Chartreuse's 130 botanical notes shine without interference.
