Thirsty Thursday: St. Patrick’s Day Cocktails featuring Proper No. Twelve Whiskey
I’m no expert, but I’d say the amount of whiskey consumed on St. Patrick’s Day is likely higher than any other day in the U.S. With American’s on the look out for ways to celebrate their Irish (or not-so-Irish) heritage, why not pour a cocktail and enjoy?
This Thirsty Thursday, cocktail recipes are courtesy of Proper No. Twelve, a growing Irish Whisky brand. It isn’t your typical grain-only Irish whiskey, either. It’s a blend of golden grain and single malt resulting in a smooth and approachable taste with hints of vanilla, honey-like sweetness, and toasted wood. Proper No. Twelve is available online on Drizly and ReserveBar. You can also find a retail location here.
