Whispered Infamy

Show Notes

In this episode, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, we take a look at Ireland's oldest spirit - Poitin.

Recipes Discussed:

Irish Martini

2 1/2 Oz. Poitin

1/2 Oz. Dry Vermouth

Combine both ingredients in a mixing glass over ice. Stir well until the mixture is fully diluted (around 20 seconds), and strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Banshee

20 ml. Poitin

20 ml. Rye Whiskey

15 ml. Cloosterbitter

15 ml. Lime Juice

1 Egg White

Adapted from a recipe first published by Andy Kerr in BBC Good Food

Combine all ingredients except for the egg white in a shaker, and shake over ice. Strain into a mixing glass, and discard ice. Return the mixture to the shaker, add the egg white, and dry shake until frothy. Pour into a chilled coupe glass, and garnish with a dehydrated lime wedge.
