[The Sip Advisor has been growing his liquor collection for a decade plus. It is something I’m very proud of, my children before kids and my legacy to leave to this world. I’d like to share what I’ve curated with all you little sippers via this project.]

I’ve long been a fan of Jameson Irish Whiskey. So much so, that while Mrs. Sip and I were in Ireland in 2016, we went well out of our way – driving on the wrong side of the road on sometimes extremely narrow passages – to visit the Jameson Distillery in Cork.

As for this particular bottle, I came across it on a Las Vegas vacation in 2022 and had to bring it home, having never seen it in my neck of the woods before. The product was available locally for a time, but seems to have disappeared from the market. When the time comes, I will have to find an alternative way to replace it, as I’ve developed a fondness for this twist on the classic.

One of my favourite drinks to make with the orange variant is the beverage they made us in Cork: Jameson, Ginger Ale and Lime. I’ve also swapped the Ginger Ale for Ginger Beer, resulting in an Irish Mule spinoff. Speaking of recipes, let’s get to today’s creation, courtesy the Jameson website.

How about a couple trivia tidbits to wrap this article? John Jameson, founder of Jameson Whiskey, was a lawyer before entering the distilling game. His grandson, Guglielmo Marconi, would go on to invent wireless telegraphy (sharing the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics), which would lead to the creation of radio and later be used in the development of television and other wireless communications.
