This St. Patrick’s Day, expand your horizons beyond the cliché green colored cocktails and enjoy a sophisticated ready-to-drink Irish Old Fashioned with a bottle of Hercules Mulligan Rum & Rye. Hercules Mulligan Rum & Rye [SRP $38.00] is based on a historic recipe from the man Hercules Mulligan, an Irish immigrant and spy from the revolutionary era and is a 50:50 blend of Caribbean aged rum and home-grown American rye whiskey.
This fresh, organic, ginger root is macerated in the rum & rye blend, and a splash of bitters is added, ensuring this liberating libation can be enjoyed on the rocks as a ready-made Irish Old Fashioned. Simple in its nature, yet utterly complex and delightful, this never-before-tasted composition tickles the nose and loosens the lips.
Conveniently enjoyed poured over a glass of ice, the ready-to-drink Irish Old Fashioned can be used in a variety of cocktails including Irish Coffee, Mulligan Mule, and A Tailor’s Highball.
Hercules Mulligan is available nationally via online orders and in fine wine and spirits retailers in New York State.
