History

Single pot still Irish whiskey provides backbone, verjuice adds sharpness, while passion fruit, apricot liqueur, and Pommeau de Normandie bring heart and soul.

Jillian Vose created the original recipe at The Dead Rabbit in New York City, USA. Her recipe calls for the whisky to be split between 15ml Redbreast 12-year-old and 30ml Green Spot Irish whiskeys.
