Santa’s Favourite Tipple by Robert Jacob
But for cutting-edge, think smart boutique hotel or New York loft. This requires altogether a different look, Cocktails is the drink of choice here, not mulled wine!
This year one of the world’s best cocktail bartenders, Jack McGarry, co-founder of The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog in New York was in Dublin as special guest of Dublin Whiskey Live. The Dead Rabbit won Best American Cocktail Bar and the World’s Best Drinks selection at the 2014 Tales of the Cocktails Spirited Awards. This two Spirited Award wins, reinforces the bar’s achievements at last year’s 2013 Tales of the Cocktails that included winning “ World’s Best New Cocktail Bar, World’s Best Cocktail Menu and International Bartender of the year “ for Jack McGarry.
“As an Irishman, I’m proud to restore my country’s spirit to popularity in the US and I decided to rethink our offerings from the ground up and salute Irish Whiskey, with a definitive selection of rare and unique expressions and an unprecedented number of newly created drinks to honor it.” – Says McGarry
Sean Muldoon & Jack McGarry, Co-founders of The Dead Rabbit NY
Having opened its doors less than two years ago, The Dead Rabbit can already boasts five Spirited Awards. A truly remarkable feat and affirms all the effort that they put in each day to make The Dead Rabbit experience unforgettable for their clientele. From the start, The Dead Rabbit set out to shake up the cocktail world and set new standards of excellence with a refined second storey cocktail parlor offering no less than 64 cocktails, all using Irish Whiskey.
Whether you are a whiskey enthusiast, an uninitiated newcomer or just looking for a night out that offers you something different, this bar provides the unique opportunity and platform to make learning about Irish whiskey both fun and stimulating.While most of us are acquainted with it as a sipping spirit, Irish whiskey is versatile and plays very well in a broad range of cocktails, from light and refreshing to more contemplative that will have you both surprised and delighted.
With gentle persuasion, Jack very kindly gave us 3 of his Irish Whiskey cocktail recipes to share with you. And as a Christmas bonus from us at The Taste.ie, there is your chance to dazzle your friends & family as we will be giving away a bottle of each Whiskey courtesy of Ally McAlpine from the Celtic Whiskey Shop to one lucky winner so as you can russle up these newly created quaffs .
