What to Eat and Drink:

According to Beckett’s publisher and close friend John Calder, “Jameson was his staple drink and he was always brought bottles by visitors,” even during the time he spent in Paris. So grab a Jameson, or if you want to make something special, try the cocktail below!

The Samuel Beckett
via Oisin Davis at Newstalk

Ingredients:
50 ml of your favorite Irish whiskey (We recommend Jameson!)
20 ml of Wexford honey syrup
1/2 teaspoon of poitín (learn more here)
2 sprigs of fresh thyme

 

Chill an old fashioned glass with some ice.

Muddle the thyme and honey in a mixing glass.

Throw in the whiskey and some ice. Stir for about twenty seconds.

Remove the ice from the glass and drop the poitin into it. Swirl it all round the glass to coat it.

Strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with another sprig of thyme. Sláinte!
