Jameson Orange Whiskey Mixed Drinks & Cocktails

Jameson Orange Crush

By ABC Fine Wine & Spirits

For a refreshing and citrusy long drink that’s perfect for sipping on a hot summer’s day, you can’t go wrong with a Jameson Orange Crush. Ingredients include, aside from the Jameson Orange, triple sec, fresh orange juice, and lemon-lime soda, and you can have an orange wedge or orange twist on hand to use as a garnish.

To build the drink, add the Jameson Orange, triple sec, orange juice, and soda to a highball glass with a handful of ice cubes. Stir the mixture to combine and chill, then decorate with your orange wedge or twist.

Orange and Lemon Lime Soda

By Jameson

If you’re a fan of the citrus flavor profiles of the Jameson Orange Crush but your drinks cabinet is a little bare, the Jameson Orange and lemon-lime soda cocktail is a simpler version with fewer ingredients. You will still get the three citrusy flavors of natural orange, lime, and lemon, but they will be a little more subtle.

Simply add one part Jameson Orange and two parts lemon-lime soda to a glass over ice, garnish with an orange half-moon or wedge, and enjoy!

Irish Mimosa

By Lemon Tree Dwelling

Classically, a mimosa combines the flavors of orange juice and sparkling wine, often Champagne, but when St. Patrick’s Day next rolls around, you can adapt the recipe and turn it into an Irish whiskey cocktail by introducing some Jameson Orange into the mix.

You’ll also need some grapefruit juice, and to mix the drink, which also works as a big-batch pitcher cocktail, simply combine the ingredients and garnish with a slice of orange – decadent and delicious!

Zesty Old Fashioned

By Jameson

To add an extra citrus taste to a classic Old Fashioned cocktail by switching the traditional bourbon or rye whiskey for your new best friend, Jameson Orange. You will also need some Angostura bitters, simple syrup, and a handful of ice cubes.

To make this classic drink with a twist, simply stir the ingredients together in a glass with ice, then kick back and sip away until your heart’s content!

Jameson Orange Mule

By Jameson

The classic Moscow mule is a unique cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice, garnished with a slice or wedge of lime and a sprig of mint, and served in a copper mug. The copper mug takes on the temperature of the cool drink and helps to slow the warming process. 

For an Irish twist on the classic recipe, forget the vodka, and grab your new best mixology buddy, Jameson Orange, and also switch the lime juice for a couple of dashes of Angostura Bitters.

Add some ice cubes to the bottom of your copper mule mug, then add in the rest of the ingredients and garnish with a tart orange twist or wedge.

Vanilla Whiskey Mule

By A Communal Table

For another refreshing take on the classic Moscow Mule recipe, you can also add in some vanilla syrup. The vanilla syrup adds a little sweetness as well as a subtle touch of ‘je ne sais quoi.’ 

To make this variation, you will need to make the vanilla-infused syrup at home using Demerara sugar, water, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Once that’s ready, to make the rest of the cocktail, muddle a lemon quarter in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass, add in the Jameson Orange and the freshly-made sweet syrup to the muddled lemon juice, and top up with ginger ale.

Irish Cosmo

By Jameson

The Cosmopolitan, or Cosmo to its close friends, is a classic cocktail traditionally made using vodka, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, and an orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau or triple sec. To switch things up a little and add a touch of Gaelic flair, you can eschew the vodka in favor of the citrusy smoothness of Jameson Irish Whiskey Orange Edition.

To make an Irish Cosmo, simply mix the Jameson Orange, cranberry juice, lime juice, and triple sec in a cocktail shaker, then strain into a coupe glass and garnish with an orange twist. Perfect for your next dinner party or casual get-together with friends.

Jameson Orange & Pineapple Spritz

By Jameson

This refreshing cocktail offers a well-traveled flavor profile that combines smooth Irish whiskey with the Italian taste of Prosecco and the South American flavors of the pineapple fruit. 

To put together this delicious tropical drink, you will need Jameson Orange, Prosecco, pineapple juice, soda water, and some ice.

Once you have gathered everything you need, simply combine the ingredients in an ice-filled wine glass and give it a gentle stir before serving.

Irish Whiskey Lemonade With Honey

By Cooks With Cocktails

While you are free to use any whiskey or whisky you like to make a whiskey lemonade, we love the way the additional citrus notes of Jameson Orange complement the sweetness of the lemonade, and the smoothness of Jameson Irish whiskey makes it that little bit more refreshing on a hot day.

And we love how this recipe opts for homemade rather than store-bought lemonade too. Grab a pitcher and add a cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, some water, some honey, and a few lemon slices. 

Make sure that’s all well combined, then grab a rocks glass filled with ice and pour the Jameson Orange first, followed by your homemade lemonade.

Jameson Orange Irish Whiskey: A Perfect Balance

While die-hard whiskey aficionados may turn their nose up at the idea of flavored spirits, the high appeal of smooth whiskey from Ireland paired with a sweet orange flavor has many people licking their lips in anticipation. 

A bottle of Jameson Orange makes a great addition to any home bar or spirits cabinet, and as well as offering a great flavor to sip on, it can also elevate a traditional cocktail to the next level of tastiness.

When Jameson made the decision to pair their triple-distilled Irish Whiskey with sweet orange-tasting notes, they also decided to create their latest product with reduced alcohol content. Jameson Orange, with its distinctive orange taste and woody characteristics on the finish, is bottled at 30% ABV.
