A Taste of Irish Whiskey History with The Tipperary

Irish whiskey’s smooth and refined profile makes it an excellent foundation for both light and bold cocktails. While some drinks highlight its softer notes, others embrace its depth. The Tipperary is one such cocktail—a rich, spirit-forward classic that dates back to the early 20th century.

First appearing in Hugo R. Ensslin’s Recipes for Mixed Drinks in 1916, The Tipperary was named after the Irish town and inspired by a popular wartime song, It’s a Long Way to Tipperary. The drink itself is a sophisticated blend of Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Green Chartreuse, balanced with a touch of bitters. With its herbal complexity and deep, warming flavors, it’s a must-try for those who appreciate a well-structured whiskey cocktail.
