Irish Gold

Irish Gold is a recipe a user sent to us (thanks, JM!), invented by the Tullamore D.E.W. company. It’s a lovely, light highball that matches the gentle flavor of Irish whiskey to peach, orange and ginger flavors, and it makes for a fine brunch cocktail or daytime sipper.

Tullamore D.E.W.’s original recipe called for ginger ale. In the US, ginger ales tend to be a good deal sweeter than they are elsewhere, and the Irish folks behind this recipe were likely using a pretty dry style to balance the sweetness of the peach and orange. We think it’s better with spicier, less-sweet ginger beer, but if you live someplace where you can get good ginger ale, do try it here.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
