Cocktails at Home: Dublin Cobbler from The Late Late Bar & Spirit Grocer

Pursuitist - 5-Star Luxury

For a true taste of Ireland in New York City, the beloved Late Late Bar & Spirit Grocer serves 50 Irish whiskeys in its traditional but upscale pub modeled after a 1960s period Irish residence.

Since the Late Late Bar is currently open for delivery and curb service only, Irish whiskey fans everywhere can enjoy mixologist Nick Fogel’s original craft cocktail at home by mastering his delicious Dublin Cobbler recipe. The key to its heart and soul is the use of  Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey, created by a former Bushmill’s distillery manager and, charmingly, by Dublin-born MMA fighter and boxer Conor McGregor. Made in Ireland’s oldest whiskey distillery, Proper No. Twelve is a proper Irish spirit made with the traditional triple-distillation method in copper pot stills.
