Jameson Whiskey IPA Edition Cocktails from Jameson
The Homemate
By Jameson

The Homemate is a cocktail with a herby, balanced profile. It has just the right amount of sweetness and bitterness. So what’s in it?
Well, The Homemate has Amaro, Angostura bitters, honey syrup, IPA Edition whiskey, and a rosemary sprig. The Amaro is sweet and floral, the Angostura bitters and rosemary are herby, the honey syrup provides that extra sweetness, and the whiskey is hoppy. This one is complex in flavor but blends perfectly.
Mr. Earl
By Jameson

The Mr. Earl is sophisticated, fun, and packed full of flavor. It takes a bit of work to craft this one up, but it’s totally worth it. You’ll start by making earl grey tea syrup which is a combination of sugar, steeped tea bags, and water.
Once you have that, you’ll add it to a cocktail shaker with ice cubes along with Jameson, lemon juice, marmalade, orange bitters, and orange zest. Give it a good shake and strain it into a chilled glass, and there you have a Mr. Earl.
The Ginger Brew
By Jameson

The Ginger Brew almost tastes like an adult iced tea to us. It’s really refreshing! The Ginger Brew uses fresh ingredients like lime juice, lemon juice, chunks of ginger, honey syrup, and a rosemary spring to complement this edition from Jameson perfectly. Despite all of the ingredients having distinct flavors, none of the notes overpower one another.
IPA Shandy
By Jameson

This cocktail reminds us of summer in a glass. It’s a classic BBQ cocktail that you need to make for yourself. You’ll love it, too! Simply combine your favorite IPA beer, Jameson, lemonade, and lemon juice. Then, garnish with a wedge of grapefruit. This one is a strong one, so while you’ll want to keep going back for more, drink responsibly!
Hop-To-It
By Jameson

The Hop-To-It is a bit of a variation on the Shandy and is better for those who really enjoy hoppiness. For this one, you’ll combine 2 parts of beer, 2 parts of lemonade, and 1 part of Jameson IPA Edition, then garnish it with a lemon wedge.
Tropical IPA
By Jameson

Step away from the worries of the world with this tropical coconut whiskey cocktail. Yes, who would have thought that whiskey and coconut would work together in the same drink?! Well, it somehow does!
You’ll need coconut flakes, coconut water, ice cubes, IPA syrup, Jameson, lime juice, and sea salt flakes. And don’t worry; the syrup is easy to make!
Other Jameson Whiskey IPA Edition Cocktails
Despite Jameson having their own recipes with Jameson IPA Edition, they aren’t the only recipes that pair beautifully with the unique whiskey. Here are our favorite recipes. We love to swap in Jameson for the original spirit that each recipe calls for.
Stormy IPA
from Playdates to Parties

First up is this cocktail from Playdates to Parties, which is inspired by the classic Dark & Stormy. The cocktail is made with ginger beer, an IPA beer, the juice of half a lime, plus dark rum, but we swap out the dark rum for the Jameson’s IPA edition because we love the flavor much better than rum. Try it out for yourself!
Whisky-Beer Sour
from The Feed Feed

The Whisky-Beer Sour from The Feed Feed is a riff on a whiskey sour with the addition of even more flavor. It is also made in an interesting way.
You’ll first combine all the ingredients, including Angostura bitters, freshly squeezed lemon juice, an beer reduction, egg white, and whisky, and give it a dry shake to froth the egg white. This allows you to get a good froth on the egg white without diluting it too much. Then you’ll add your ice and shake it again until it’s ice cold!
Orange Bourbon Beer
from The Thirsty Feast

This is another summer cocktail favorite! The Orange Bourbon Beer Cocktail from The Thirsty Feast is just three ingredients and is totally tasty. It’s whiskey, orange blossom water, and a wheat beer. Of course, we use Jameson’s IPA Edition for our choice of whiskey because it adds a few extra hops that are wonderful with the orange and the wheat beer.
Whisky IPA Sour
from Liquor Land Toast

This cocktail is similar to the Whisky-Beer Sour from The Feed Feed, except it is specifically designed for the Jameson. On the ingredients list are Jameson, fresh lemon juice, beer syrup, and an optional egg white. Again, you’ll dry shake before you shake with ice to get that egg white nice and frothy.
Lord Nibbler
from Beer Advocate

The Lord Nibbler came from the idea to take traditionally “manly” ingredients like whiskey and IPAs and make them into a traditionally more feminine presentation and a well-liked taste. The cocktail starts with making a syrup from the beer and combining it with lemon juice and Campari.
It’s Bitter to Be Hoppy
from Food and Wine

If you want to put a bit of spice into an Aperol Spritz, this It’s Bitter to Be Hoppy cocktail is the way to do it. It has a bright color from the Aperol and tart citrus from the grapefruit juice and lemon. Other ingredients include beer and, of course, whiskey, for which we use Jameson’s IPA Edition.
Everything gets shaken together with ice cubes and then strained into a beautiful coupe glass.
Jameson Whiskey IPA Edition
IPA Edition is the classic Jameson Irish Whiskey that is triple-distilled, except instead of being aged in whiskey barrels, it gets aged in craft beer barrels that previously housed IPA beers. All of those hoppy flavors get imparted into the beer making for a unique whiskey flavor that is unmatched.
We love drinking this on the rocks, but it can also be enjoyed in one of these fantastic cocktail recipes or neat.
