- Irish Whiskey?? Ink Street Cocktail - Cocktails After Dark
We haven't really explored many Irish Whiskey Cocktails yet - so today we'll be mixing a 1930s prohibition era Irish whiskey cocktail two ways: one with Writers Tears, and one with Glendalough.
Ink Street Cocktail
1 part Irish Whisky
1 part Orange Juice
1 part Lemon Juice.

I love Glen’s reaction after tasting the second one. 😂
It's pronounced Glen- duh - lock. You were close enough there with your first attempt! Glendalough is a beautiful valley in County Wicklow, Ireland.
I have been there.. it is a gorgeous area with a beautiful old cemetery.. commonly called St. Kevin’s Kitchen. A lovely old place!
My grandpa drank that also, he was from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪. Their last name O'Boyle and he said they dropped the "O" coming over on the boat. God Bless him♥️
What does Glencannon mean?
I would of thought although, it was pronounced Glen da low? That would be my American interpretation...
@@pflick13 it’s a hard ck sound. Glendalough is the anglicised version of the Irish place name “Gleann Dá Loch” which means valley of two lakes.
I'm not a huge whisky fan (to the shame of my family...our 3x great grandfather founded the Glenmorangie distillery in Scotland), but I am a citrus fan, so I would absolutely drink this, even as is. But it could probably benefit from some simple syrup, and cutting the lemon a little.
Wow that is awesome❗
I’ve been to Glendalough last year in May. Absolutely beautiful place, the surrounding mountains are just stunning.
Actually brought back a bottle of the Whiskey too. Very tasty stuff, especially neat
The amount and diversity of life experiences that y’all have had is incredible
I’m so jealous of your experiences but so glad that you get to share them with us
So thank you.
Until about 2007 there were only three active distilleries in Ireland (Middleton, Bushmills and Cooley distilleries), so a lot of the establish brands are from them. However since 2007 this has grown to over 40 distilleries. What adds to the confusion is while their stock is maturing some of the new distilleries have released whiskies under their own branding that they have bought from other distilleries, and it's not usually clear they have done this. For example Glendalough opened in 2013, but you can buy 17 year old whisky from them. I'm not too fussed about the practice though I'd prefer if it was clearer which whiskies had been sourced from elsewhere, so credit to Writers Tears for being up front about it
I might be an Irish whiskey pleb, but I bought a bottle of Jameson select reserve a while back and quite enjoyed it as a sipper. I've had both regular Jameson and tullamore dew and much prefer Jameson. I find it to be an affordable alternative to scotch whiskey. Pretty good in a hot toddy.
I just read you can use dry rice in shaken cocktails to impart some starch and round out the flavor. Would love to see you try this in one of you vids ;-)
Glen, I ran into your dopelganger a couple weeks ago. It turns out he is a physician, working nights at a hospital in Boise Idaho. He admitted me and saw me multiple times over the course of my stay until his days off came along. He asked me why I smiled at him so much and I told him he reminded me of my favorite youtuber/food historian, which raised his cool quotient. He laughed. So if you’re looking for your twin, he is working nights in Boise ID. 😂😂
I absolutely love your channel!❤ how do you and Jules stay healthy enjoying desserts and cocktails? Please please , do tell 😅♥️
Good job on the pronunciation! I love Tullamore Dew for sipping. Break it out more often. Try this drink with it and less lemon!
Really dig Writer’s Tears. If you’re curious about Irish whiskey, I suggest giving Red Breast or Green Spot a try. Delicious stuff. And both quite different from each other.
Red Breast is the king of whiskeys (in my opinion).
@@SylviusTheMad It’s up there. My favorite Irish for sure. Interesting that Glen got mostly barrel notes in WT. I get almost stewed fruits (peaches and apricots with some pear) and ginger before any barrel notes. Might need to grab another. Ha.
Love both! Green spot has that Granny Smith apple and shortbread note that I love.
For Irish Whiskey, I like Bushmills Black Bush. It should hold up to the citrus.....
I don't see sourced spirits as a red flag. Lots of American bourbon is sourced, so long as they are forthcoming about sourcing. About the cocktail, some simple syrup would probably go a long way.
As an Irishman, I can confirm that you did a fine job of that pronunciation.
I love bourbon and rye based cocktails. I've never been keen on Irish in cocktails except for Irish coffee. I just think Irish is too subtle for mixers and is best enjoyed aforementioned, neat, or on the rocks.
Yeah, Lemon and Orange juice 2:1 with the Irish Whiskey and without simple syrup - doesn't seem very balanced. Maybe stronger whisky (Islay Scotch?) with less juice and some simple could work...
Cocktails before and after Cocktails after dark 🥂
We tried it, subbing in gin, but the citrus completely overwhelmed the gin too. I suspect the equal parts lemon and orange just makes a super team that will dominate nearly anything.
Love the channel Glen- but if you're going to defile a glass of Irish Whiskey with orange juice, just use $20 Paddy's.... :)
Based on your tasting notes, it sounds like that could really benefit from some simple syrup and a little salt.
Redbreast 12 is my go-to Irish whiskey. A bit pricey but so good
Really love Redbreast 12...it's got some magic in there.
This looks a lot like a type of whiskey sour, where sugar is also added to the lemon/orange juice mix.
Agreed, I make my sours almost exactly like this with added simple syrup. I tend to be pretty light on the citrus for obvious reasons.
What is the recipe for a Whiskey Sour? If you don't mind♥️
Sounds like a little grenadine might fix it.. or maybe replace the lemon juice with lemoncello..
I’m not a big cocktail person, so haven’t followed this series, but you had my attention at Whisky!
We have a suburb called that in Australia and we pronounce it Glen-der-low
I think you should use Bushmills as a control when using Irish Whiskey for anything.
Just me.
If you’re looking for info about Irish whiskey (or any other whiskey), Ralphy’s your man. I don’t even drink, but I enjoy his videos tremendously, just like I enjoy Cocktails After Dark tremendously.
I love Bushmills Single Malt 10 Year, but I just sip it. I think a regular "mass market" irish whiskey might have been better in that, as it would be less smooth.
My favorite Irish Whiskey cocktail is the Cameron's kick - It is Blended Scotch, Orgeat, Lemon Juice, and Irish Whiskey.
All I know about Irish whiskey is growing up Jameson's was called Catholic whiskey and Bushmill's was called Protestant whiskey
Needs some simple syrup to sweeten it up, or maybe some grenadine.
U might want to try some Jameson Irish Whiskey & cut down on the lemon juice or all together….Orange juice can stay- enjoyed the video! Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦
Whiskey seems like a deep deep rabbit hole.
I just want to know how Julie knows what diesel tastes like.
Probably tastes like how diesel smells.
Try Proper 12 Irish Whiskey next time.
I am pretty sure a smokier whisky would have a totally different result. Better? I don’t know but I think there needs to something to overcome that citrus which I think could be cut way down. There is a cocktail at a local restaurant here that I was told all the ingredients for but not the ratios. I think it took 4 attempts to get the ratios correct and maybe some more could be done but it tastes enough like the original now. All this to say that even with the right ingredients it sometimes just takes tweaking to get a good result.
After bourbon, Irish Whiskey is definitely my favorite liquor.
Not a fan of Writer's Tears, have been drinking Proper Twelve recently and some Tullamore Dew
How About Drinks with Chasers ?
Hmmm. Maybe too citrus-ey for a drink you'd have at the bar at night, but not for a stereotypical newspaper reporter who would need to think about morning drinking options. It seems likely that this drink is a bit of a wink to the hard-drinking reputation of Fleet Street newspaper reporters. Whether it would be hair of the dog, or just an early start on the next day's libations... who's to say?!
Irish whiskey... right. It's just like French or Italian wines named after the vineyard/distillery. It's a bottomless pit of choices where no one is a winner and everyone has their preferred best brand. I've tried many recommendations and found very few I liked by someone else's standards. Honestly, go with what YOU want regardless of the country, source, distillery, location, process, barrel, etc. You are the customer of your own pallet.
Ick Street Cocktail
Did you add something sweet so you could finish the drinks?
Knowing the Irish, it's probably pronounced "Bob's".
Maybe switch to 1.5oz of whiskey and a few barspoons of simple...
Glenda lock, pretty close to be fair...
Sometimes you can just look at a recipe and know "that's going to be unbalanced as all get out."
So-it’s a scotch sour, but with Irish whiskey?!
Diesel!?
Looking and sounding very interesting! (written before watching whole video) hm... after watching the video, so... not that interesting . The lemon even sounds like far to much. and the best about a whiskey cocktail would be the background taste of the whiskey...
Searched how to pronounce it on-line and listened to at least 4 different pronunciations. Could there be regional variations?
For sure and for certain... we're a small country with a huge variety of accents. You can drive west to east in 3 hours, and the accents are wildly different... in the wild and woolly west we call it Glenda-lock, further north it would be more like glaine-da-loch, and over in glendalough itself, I think they pronounce it more glenduh-lock...
I swear when you said its a 1:1 cocktail, you only put 1/2 measure of whiskey into them... but that could be the cut/editing...
It is a 1:1:1 cocktail and I used the same amount for each ingredient.
SothernComfort is my choice.
Did you ever hear of "Bushmills Irish Whiskey"? It's a famous Irish whiskey. I don't like Irish whiskey.
I prefer gin. Whiskey just doesn't work for me. It seems so harsh.
It doesn't taste good because there isn't enough whiskey nor any sugar to round out the booze and tartness.
A better recipe would be:
2 oz Irish whiskey
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz orange juice
1/2-2/3 oz simple syrup
Essentially, a classic sour without the egg white or bitters
This recipe is fairly indicative of cocktail recipes up through the late 1930s - most of the 'classics' as we now know them don't really become 'classics' until post WW2
close the bottle when not pouring... it will cause flavor profile shift with the alcohol evaporation.
Sourced Whiskey isn’t necessarily a problem but it’s almost never a positive. There’s some great producers that make whiskeys for dozens of brands, but the downside is those brands will tend to all taste a little too much alike so many whiskeys “connoisseurs” aren’t a fan of it. The best whiskeys are virtually never sourced, but the worst whiskeys are also likely not sourced.
having visited it ... the pronunciation is glen dah low
Sounds horrid.
