You say you don’t like whiskey . . .

. . .but this cocktail can transform the non-whiskey drinker into an aficionado.
The Southpaw Cocktail is an out of the ordinary twist on a classic Maid, softened to bring out the vanilla notes in the Jameson. Andrew never really takes credit for “making up” a cocktail. He always says “every cocktail is a twist on a classic”. I think this one is especially delicious. When I was bartending this was my favorite trick. Someone would tell me they didn’t like whiskey. I told them if they didn’t like this cocktail, no problem, I’ll drink it and make them something else. I never got to drink one.
