While my husband thinks he’s an Irish Legend, one of his favorite whiskeys, the venerable Tullamore D.E.W., offers a fresh take on a classic whiskey sour cocktail. This beverage is complex and lightly sweet and tart with hints of rosemary, almond, apple, lemon, lime, and blackberry. 

WHAT YOU NEED:

1.5 oz Tullamore D.E.W. Original

.5 oz Amaretto

1.5 oz Apple juice

.25 oz Lemon juice

.25 oz Lime juice

.125 oz Sugar syrup

1 Sprig rosemary

1 Egg white

.25 oz  Crème de mure

Add all ingredients to shaker, except crème de mure. Dry shake, add ice, then hard shake and strain into a rocks glass with ice. Sink the Crème De Mure.

Add crushed ice and garnish.

* Irish green tray table and Hunt Slonem embroidered cocktail napkins from Material Things.

Cut crystal low ball glasses and silver ice bucket and tongs with horn detail from Walsworth & Company.
