📜 History

The Rory O More cocktail is named after Rory O Moore, an Irish nobleman who was one of the main organizers of the Irish Rebellion of 1641. This drink appears in the Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide as an Irish version of the Rob Roy, substituting Irish whiskey for Scotch and using orange bitters instead of Angostura. It is closely related to the Paddy Cocktail and the Emerald, all Irish takes on the Manhattan template.
