Made with Irish whiskey instead of rye or bourbon, the Emerald Cocktail is an elegant sidestep from the classic Manhattan (aka the Irish Manhattan). Despite the bitters adding to the inherent spice in Irish whiskey, it’s a very smooth and approachable drink that reflects the Irish experience.

- 1 dash of Angostura Bitters
