Notes
Substitutes:
- Irish Whiskey: I sometimes reach for a smooth bourbon or Scotch when I run out of Irish whiskey. The flavor profile changes, but the drink remains delightful.
- Sweet Vermouth: As in the Negroni, dry vermouth can be used if you add a dash of simple syrup to mellow out any bitterness.
- Green Chartreuse: Yellow Chartreuse is a tad sweeter and less alcoholic but can be used in a bind. It adds a unique twist to the Tipperary.
Making a Pitcher of Tipperary:
- Scale: For an 8-serving pitcher, use 12 oz of Irish whiskey, 8 oz of sweet vermouth, and 4 oz of green Chartreuse.
- Mix: Stir the Whiskey, Vermouth, and Chartreuse in a large pitcher.
- Serve: Distribute the blend into individual chilled cocktail glasses, top with a cherry or lemon twist, and serve promptly.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Irish Whiskey Substitute: Opt for a non-alcoholic whiskey alternative. These have become more available and can emulate the warmth of whiskey.
- Green Chartreuse Substitute: A mix of non-alcoholic herbal tea, sweetened slightly, can replace the distinct flavor of Chartreuse.
- Vermouth Substitute: Choose a non-alcoholic alternative available on the market.
- Proceed As Usual: Swap the regular ingredients with these non-alcoholic alternatives, stick to the primary steps, and savor a non-alcoholic Tipperary.
