Mixing Whiskey

Whiskey is notoriously hard to mix into cocktails. You've got your Mint Julep, your Manhattan, your Old Fashioned, then everything else is a crapshoot.

I found the Whiskey Experience website, was looking at the recipes, and decided to make one. Most of these recipes call for ingredients I don't have sitting around the house, like Orange Curacao and ginger beer, so I went with a simple one:

HOURGLASS - The great thing about Jameson Irish whiskey is the mixability of the spirit. A refreshing blend of orange and cranberry juices, the Hourglass is one of those drinks that are easy to make at home or in the bar and excellent on any hour of the day.

Ingredients:

30ml Jameson
60ml cranberry juice
60ml orange juice
Dash of lime

Build ingredients over ice in long glass
Garnish with lime wheel

I tried one with Johnnie Walker Red (blended Scotch), having no Irish Whiskey in the house. Well, the best I can say is that it was pretty good, for a whiskey drink.
