#221 Cocktail: Paddy

      As Gaz Regan says, "Paddy cocktail is the Irish Manhattan", and he is right when he says that. The only difference between the two is the fact that in this one you have to use Irish whiskey (of course you have to use this, because otherwise it would't be Paddy :) )
      The cocktail was made for he first time in 1930 and appeared in Harry Craddock's "The Savoy Cocktail Book" 1930. The 1930 recipe doesn't say anything about the lemon twist garnish, but the one in Gaz Regan's book adds this subtle aromatic dimension

2 ounces Irish whiskey
1 ounce sweet vermouth 
Angostura bitters to taste
