Dublin 6 - Irish Whiskey Cocktail
Posted by Irish Whiskey USA on
The Dublin 6 is the IWSA version of the Ward 8, the most famous cocktail to come out of Boston. The original pre-prohibition cocktail was created to celebrate the election victory of a powerful political "boss" in Boston's eighth ward neighborhood. This swanky part of Boston consisted of Beacon Hill, the West End and Fenway area. The IWSA version is named for the Dublin 6 area which consists of Ranelagh, Rathmines, and Rathgar, a similarly affluent residential area close to the city and known for its architecture, boutiques, and parks. The IWSA version uses Irish Rye Whiskey as the signature ingredient.
