Created byPublished by Hugo Ensslin

The Tipperary is an Irish whiskey cocktail with sweet vermouth and green Chartreuse, printed in Hugo Ensslin's 1917 recipe book. The herbal Chartreuse gives this Manhattan-style drink a distinctive green, minty edge. Its name nods to the famous wartime marching song. It is a lesser-known but rewarding vintage stirred drink.
