This beverage is another one from my recent Pre-Prohibition birthday party. Don’t be fooled by it’s cherry-pop color; the Irish Rose is a manly dose of whiskey perfectly co-mingled with a swig of grenadine. We really don’t drink enough grenadine these days.
This has become my favorite beverage for my four-o’clock Judge Judy cocktail break. I think it will become yours, too.
