Irish Whiskey Cocktails

Cocktails are a big hit all over the world. Creating a whiskey cocktail is a fun to kick-start any party. The Irish whiskey makes a good foundation for four favorite cocktails; The Jameson hourglass, the James WTR, Whiskey sour and the Hot whisky punch.
Murphy's Paddy, Dunphy's and Tullamore Dew Whiskeys are make around Dublin and Cork. Jameson's is made Dublin and is exported throughout the world.
There are three types of Irish whiskey: single malt, pure pot stilled and a column and pot still blend of grain and malt. All are distilled three times and matured in oak barrels.
