Irish Buck cocktail

Irish Buck

• A classic Irish whiskey cocktail. The widely accepted Irish-American version is that Jameson is Catholic whiskey and Bushmills is Protestant whiskey. But that’s merely based on geography: Bushmills is from Northern Ireland (a predominantly Protestant region) and Jameson is from Cork (Catholic country). This distinction appears to be less important in Ireland than in America.
