History & Origin

The Dubliner was created by Gary Regan in 1999 for St. Patricks Day in New York and featured in his influential book The Joy of Mixology. This elegant Manhattan variation substitutes Irish whiskey for rye or bourbon and adds Grand Marnier for a citrus-forward twist. The orange bitters complement the orange liqueur, creating a remarkably balanced and approachable whiskey cocktail that pays homage to Irish pub culture.
