Smokey Emerald

This sophisticated take on the classic Dark and Stormy cocktail is a robust and flavorful blend of Jameson Black Barrel Irish whiskey, Cardamaro, and Connemara cask-strength peated Irish whiskey. Enhanced with the zing of lime juice, the warmth of ginger syrup, and a hint of tamarind chutney, this cocktail is as complex and bold as its namesake. Finished with a splash of vanilla soda and a garnish of freshly grated nutmeg, the Smokey Emerald is a truly unique and invigorating libation.
