Irish Mist might be considered a "kissing cousin" to Drambuie, but since it's based on Irish whiskey rather than Scotch, it's missing the smoky flavor that can make Drambuie a bit of a challenge in cocktails. It seems to combine especially well with orange.
Irish Canadian
- 2 oz. Canadian whiskey
- 1 oz. Irish Mist
Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass to serve.
Mist Opportunity
- 3 parts chilled orange vodka
- 1 part Irish Mist
Combine the vodka and Irish Mist in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well to chill. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and serve garnished with an orange slice.
Mist Maker
- 1 part Irish Mist
- 1 part Makers Mark bourbon
- 1 part Skyy orange vodka
Fill an old-fashioned glass with cracked ice. Combine the Irish Mist, bourbon, and vodka in a mixing glass filled with ice and stir well. Strain into the prepared glass and serve with an orange slice.
Irish Mist Coffee
Irish Coffee is a well-known and traditional hot drink. Irish Mist Coffee is slightly sweeter, thanks to the honey in the liqueur.
- 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey
- 1/2 oz. Irish Mist
- 5 oz. hot coffee
- 1 1/2 oz. whipping cream
Pour the whiskey and Irish mist into a heat-safe mug or Irish coffee cup. Top off with hot coffee. Float the cream on top, but don't stir it in - to properly drink Irish coffee, sip the coffee through the cream.
Irish Kiss Shooter
- 1 oz. Irish Mist
- 1/2 oz. creme de menthe
Combine the two liqueurs and shake with ice to chill. Strain into a shot glass.
Dubliner
Think of an Irish Mist coffee, but without the coffee! This short drink is smooth and creamy.
- 1 oz. Irish whiskey
- 1 oz. Irish Mist
- 1 oz. whipping cream
Pour the whiskey and liqueur in a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir to chill. Strain into a goblet, and float the cream on top.
Rusty Mist
A variation on the traditional Rusty Nail, this cocktail combines two classic whiskey liqueurs into one sweet drink.
- 1 oz. Drambuie
- 1 oz. Irish Mist
Pour the Drambuie over cracked ice in an old-fashioned glass, and add the Irish Mist. Give a quick stir to combine, and serve.
The Killarney
- 1 oz. gin
- 1 oz. Irish Mist
- 1 oz. dry vermouth
- 1 oz. sweet vermouth
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake briefly. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with cracked ice. The Killarney can also be served straight up in a chilled cocktail glass.
Winter Parker
Don't be intimidated by the number of ingredients - the Winter Parker is easy to make, and is sweet and smooth.
- 3/4 oz. amaretto
- 3/4 oz. Irish Mist
- 1/2 oz. strawberry schnapps
- 1/2 oz. cherry juice
- 3 oz. pineapple juice
- 1/2 oz. grenadine
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake briskly to combine. Fill an old-fashioned glass with cracked ice. Strain the cocktail into the glass, and serve garnished with a lime wedge.
