A simple but robust whiskey sipper.
Likening this cocktail to a dry Irish whiskey Manhattan, Yanni Kehagiaras notes that the drink
should be stirred very briefly with ice. “It’s about retaining the texture and viscosity,” says Kehagiaras, co-owner of Stoa in San Francisco, one of this year’s Imbibe 75 Places to Watch. “Just a brief chill and it’s good.”
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey (Stoa uses Powers)
- 1/2 oz. dry vermouth (such as Dolin)
- 1/2 oz. coffee liqueur (Stoa uses St. George Spirits NOLA Coffee Liqueur)
- Tools:barspoon, strainer
- Glass:rocks
Preparation
Combine all of the ingredients with ice and stir very briefly, only for 5 seconds or so. Strain into the glass and serve.
