If anyone knows what to make for St. Patrick's Day, it's the folks at Drink - a craft cocktail bar in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston. In their words, they are "a bar that throws a cocktail party every night" - and we can get behind that.

When creating this cocktail, mixologist Ezra Star tells Esquire.com, "I built the flavors of the cocktail around the Irish whiskey: honey for the bright grain flavors in the whiskey; dry vermouth to stretch out the whiskey and give it more life; lemon to accent the bright high flavors in the whiskey."

We've adapted his recipe slightly to simplify it - we found that Bittermilk's Smoked Honey Whiskey Sour was the perfect way to combine the honey flavors and the lemon in this cocktail, without the extra work of squeezing fresh citrus. Hey, any barrier to a good cocktail that can be eliminated should be, don't you agree?

In the 5th century, St. Patrick wrote a Declaration to confirm his dedication to God and a high moral standard. We think a cocktail such as this one is in perfect keeping with that Declaration, indeed.

Directions

Chill a cocktail glass by filling with ice cubes before you begin making your drink.
In a mixing glass or the bottom of a Boston shaker, combine all cocktail ingredients with ice. Stir gently but thoroughly, keeping the back side of your spoon held against the mixing vessel and rotating your wrist. This will combine the flavors without damaging any of the delicate notes in the liquors.
Discard the ice from your cocktail glass and strain your cocktail into the chilled glass. Top with your curly orange twist and enjoy.
