This cocktail is simple but effective.

You only need four ingredients and you can make it in minutes.

Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey is top-shelf stuff. It comes from the famous New York bar the Dead Rabbit, which is renowned for its artisan cocktails and Irish coffees. Co-founders Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry collaborated with Master Distiller Darryl McNally from Dublin Liberties Distillery to launch this five-year-old blend in celebration of the bar’s fifth anniversary.

The premium whiskey consists of both malt and grain, is matured in ex-Bourbon barrels casks and then finished off in virgin oak American casks.

Here’s how to create this dreamy drink:

Ingredients

• 50ml The Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey

Garnish: fresh sliced ginger and lime wheel

To garnish: slice some fresh ginger and a wheel of fresh lime. Drop into the glass to complete.
