Get in the ‘spirit’ this St. Patrick’s Day with NIO’s Teeling Whiskey Cocktail Box

The UK’s leading cocktail letterbox delivery company, NIO Cocktails, has teamed up with Dublin born-and-bred Teeling Irish Whiskey to bring you a selection of premium, pre-mixed whiskey-based cocktails.

Inside, there are four classic cocktails to tempt your taste buds – sure to please everyone from lifelong whiskey fans to those who have never delighted in a whiskey-based cocktail before.

• Boulevardier: Inspired by the whiskey drinker’s favourite pre-dinner aperitivo, Select liqueur and Campari bring a bitter, slightly herbal base note to this 1930’s icon. Antica Formula vermouth enhances the creaminess and lingering allspice notes of Teeling Small Batch to create a bittersweet yet rounded cocktail, ideal for patrons who love a warming aperitivo by the fire.
• Irish Emerald: Teeling Single Grain features subtle red fruit and berry flavours from maturation in ex-Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, which gives this fresh take on a Manhattan an unusual extra layer of sweetness. Maraschino and Cocchi Red Vermouth give the cocktail body and richness, while Noilly Prat lends a dry and slightly bitter orange finish. A complex and beautifully balanced cocktail for patrons looking for a whiskey drink to move them into Spring.
• Herbal Penicillin: A fresh and spicy take on the Irish Penicillin with the award-winning Teeling Small Batch Whiskey. Subtle floral notes of the Teeling are elegantly complemented by the vibrant freshness of Chartreuse, while honey and ginger lend a satisfying depth of flavour and spice that go hand in hand with this warming whiskey.
• Old Fashioned: The Teeling Single Grain Old Fashioned opts for honey syrup instead of sugar syrup to elevate the fruitiness coming from Teeling’s Cabernet Sauvignon barrel-aged whiskey. Red berries meet a light richness from the honey that creates a truly refined Old Fashioned with a velvety mouthfeel; an elegant yet simple version of the Old Fashioned that’s perfect for sipping year-round.

NIO stands for ‘Needs Ice Only’ meaning there’s no specialist equipment or ingredients needed to delight in an expertly crafted cocktail. The steps are simple: get a glass, fill it with ice and simply tear the corner of your sachet and pour the ready-made cocktail in.
