Going a little crazy this week. Doing two at once…oooooo! I got one, The Partner the other. Then we swapped.
Not too sure the Adelle Special was our favorite. Peat dominated the flavor here. Not really a surprise given the ounce-and-a-half of scotch. For the avid scotch drinker who’s looking for something a bit different, this could be the thing with the nearly equal part or curacao.
Given the name and ingredients, I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch to call the Blarney the Irish cousin to the Manhattan. Sweet and on the thin side, this is a nice tipple when you want something with the flavor notes of a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned but not quite as heavy. Between the two, it was the Blarney we had seconds of. Good stuff before heading out for dinner and clubbing.
Adelle Special
1 ½ oz. scotch
1 oz. orange curacao
Stir with cracked ice; strain into chilled tumber filled with ice. Garnish with a lemon or an orange twist.
Blarney
2 oz. Irish whiskey
1 oz. sweet vermouth
Stir with cracked ice; strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
