Tipperary image

The legend goes that this drink is named for "It's a Long Road to Tipperary," a song that was a popular anthem of Irish soldiers in World War I aching to return home to the Irish countryside. Perhaps it's not as well-known as other classic cocktails, but the mix of Irish whiskey, herbaceous Chartreuse, sweet vermouth and just a hint of orange will have you humming after just one sip.
