Happy Friday, my loves ! The weekend is here ! Time to kiss the green fairy 🧚 ☘️🍀
The Irish Blackthorn ! It's like an Irish Manhattan, but with dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth, and with the addition of the fabulous Green Fairy, some delicious absinthe.
In the famed Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930, it says that dry vermouth is the preferred choice for the Blackthorn Cocktail—and it's used in equal portions to the whiskey. But in more modern recipes, it has definitely switched over to sweet vermouth. Both sweet and dry compliment the absinthe in a delicious way, but I definitely like how the dry vermouth plays with the absinthe ! And I just really love absinthe…………
