Irish Whiskey in Cocktail Form image

The obvious starting point for a proper St. Patrick's Day cocktail is Irish whiskey. But that is where it gets difficult. Ask a bartender for a classic Irish whiskey cocktail, and you're likely to get a long, pained pause. That's because Irish whiskey has kept its distance from the cocktail set. Like its peatier cousin, Scotch, it tends to be a curmudgeonly loner, preferring the company of just ice and a bit of water. This recipe was created in 2009 by Anthony Malone, the Dublin-born general manager and bartender at Puck Fair, as part of a challenge to create a cocktail based on the traditional Irish breakfast - eggs, bacon, black and white pudding, and toast. Malone's drink combines Bushmills with cherry liqueur and orange juice, as in the Scotch-based Blood and Sand, along with a whole egg, "for that creamy consistency."
