Jameson Recipe

Prepare glass

Select a lowball (old-fashioned) glass. If you prefer your Jameson slightly chilled, place the glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes ahead of time or fill it with ice and discard the ice just before building.

Add ice

Place 4 fresh ice cubes into the chilled lowball glass. The ice cools and slightly dilutes the whiskey for a smoother sip.

Measure and pour

Measure 2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey using a jigger and pour it over the ice.

Add water

Add 1 oz of cold water (adjust to taste). Stir gently once or twice with a bar spoon to combine and slightly dilute the whiskey.

Garnish and serve

Express a lemon twist over the surface to release oils, run it around the rim if desired, and drop it into the glass, or omit garnish for a more traditional presentation. Serve immediately.
