Tipperary

A bracing, spirit-forward cousin of the Manhattan that swaps in Irish whiskey and a generous pour of green Chartreuse, whose alpine, bittersweet herbal punch braids through the malt and the wine-rich sweetness of red vermouth. First recorded in Hugo Ensslin's 1917 Recipes for Mixed Drinks as an equal-parts drink and later trimmed to the leaner, whiskey-led modern build, it takes its name from the WWI marching song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary." Stirred and served up, it drinks warm, complex, and quietly martial.
