Chris Halleron tends bar at Duffy's, an Irish joint in Hoboken
a bartender of the old school
his new drink isn't one of those 21st century masterpieces that calls for ingredients such as freshly picked lavender smoked over a bed of smoldering Lapsang Souchong tea
At first glance, in fact, the only thing the drink has going for it are the gigantic quantities of booze called for in the recipe. But there's a surprise in store for those who make this baby. It's a pretty fabulous drink.
if you want to spring for a dram of, say, the 18-year-old Chivas Regal, the drink takes on a life of its own.
Dewar's 12-year-old works well in this drink, too, and you can't go too far wrong with the Johnnie Walker Black Label, either.
"A Clockwork Orange," be it in the form of a book, a movie or a cocktail, is anything but delicate.
