Petunjuk
Pour all ingredients (except orange slice and cherry) into a collins glass over ice cubes. Garnish with the slice of orange, add the cherry on top, and serve.
Irish Spring is a fruity, lightly boozy Collins-style drink that blends Irish whiskey and peach brandy with orange juice and sweet-and-sour mix, garnished with an orange slice and cherry. The peach brandy adds a delicate stone-fruit sweetness that complements the whiskey's malt and the citrus mixer's brightness. It is built over ice in a Collins glass for a tall, refreshing serve.
History & Origins
The Irish Spring cocktail takes its name from the sense of freshness and light fruitiness associated with Irish springtime, and belongs to the tradition of approachable, fruit-forward Irish whiskey cocktails popular in American Irish bars from the 1970s onward. Its exact origin is disputed, though it follows the classic pattern of Irish whiskey combined with fruit juice and a sweet modifier.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fresh orange, peach brandy sweetness, and warm Irish whiskey, with a sour mix citrus tang. Palate: Sweet and fruity, with peach and orange flavors leading, Irish whiskey providing a gentle malt backbone, and the sweet-and-sour mix delivering a balanced sweet-tart brightness. Finish: Clean and citrusy, with a lingering peach-whiskey warmth.
Pro Tip
Build over ice in the Collins glass rather than shaking, to maintain the drink's layered freshness and prevent over-dilution.
