irish whiskey cocktails for st. Patrick’s day

I love Irish whiskey, and that's not just because I'm 65% Irish! It's a beautiful spirit that makes an excellent base for cocktails. For this special St. Patrick's Day class, we'll be making 1. a Collins that's sort of an Irish Manhattan lengthened with tonic, 2. a New York Sour riff with honey and lemon plus a port float, and 3. a chilled Irish Coffee that you'll want to drink all spring long.

The DUBLIN SOUR is an Irish-whiskey take on the ever-impressive New York Sour. Lemon and honey syrup provide a counterpoint to the red fruit and tannins of the ruby port float.
