Emerald Cocktail

With notes of dried fruits, caramelized banana, and soft baking spices, the Emerald Cocktail is a riff on a Manhattan created at The Dean Bar in Rhode Island and made with Irish Whiskey instead of Rye or Bourbon.

“After making her fourteenth Espresso Martini that hour, Vanessa was delighted (and let’s face it relieved) when a guest asked instead for a bartender’s choice, stipulating only that the drink should match the colour of the red Christmas ornaments on the bar.”
