Stout Edition Cocktails from Jameson
Jameson has in-house mixologists that have dreamed up some tasty recipes to go perfectly with their Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition. Here are our top favorites from their lineup.
Stout & Spiced
By Jameson
The Stout & Spiced balances the sweet, chocolatey flavors of the Jameson Stout Edition with herbal, floral, and bitter notes of ginger beer and Angostura bitters. Then they add a stout beer to amp up the stout profile and round everything out. It’s really a unique cocktail that we have fallen in love with.
The Grand Stretch
By Jameson
The Grand Stretch puts a twist on a classic espresso martini. To make it, you’ll simply stir iced coffee, Jameson Stout Edition, Kahlua, and your milk of choice over ice cubes in a rocks glass.
It’s hard to make a good thing even better, but The Grand Stretch has done it as the Stout Edition adds a really nice depth of flavor rather than the usual vodka, which blends into the other stronger flavors.
The Balsa Wood
By Jameson
The Balsa Wood brings strong flavors with distinct ingredients. It starts by making a balsamic syrup with balsamic vinegar and demerara sugar. Then to a glass with ice cubes, add your Jameson Stout Edition, balsamic syrup, a couple of dashes of orange bitters, and orange zest.
We would have never guessed balsamic and stout flavors would go together, but there is something so interesting about it that it makes you keep going back for another sip.
Bitter Sweet
By Jameson
Jameson Stout Edition has a sweet finish, so it only makes sense that it gets balanced out by bitter ingredients. In the case of Bitter Sweet, it uses pink grapefruit juice and Campari. You can’t forget the grapefruit wedge, either! It’s simple but works so beautifully together.
Orange, You Glad You Came?
By Jameson
The Orange You Glad You Came? is sweet, fruity, and herby. It starts with making an orange cordial from orange juice, orange zest, and sugar. You’ll then combine the orange cordial, the Jameson Stout Edition, lemon juice, and soda water over ice in a highball glass.
It gets garnished with a sprig of rosemary, which is an important detail because it adds a nice floral-herbal complement.
More Jameson Stout Edition Cocktail Recipes We Love
Now, though there are not many recipes that are specifically using Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition, the whiskies in all of these recipes can be switched out for the Stout Edition for even further depth of flavor.
In some of them, you could even leave out the stout since the Jameson Stout Edition adds that hint of flavor anyways.
The Bean and Barley
The Bean and Barley from The Gastronom Blog is simple as it uses a coffee stout and simple syrup for a sweet base that gets “cut” by some citrus with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters.
Though it originally calls for a straight Bourbon, we have made it with Jameson Stout Edition, and it makes it even that much better.
Creamy Irish Stout Cocktail
By HyVee
If you want a sweet, adult treat, look no further than the Creamy Irish Stout cocktail recipe from HyVee. It’s almost like a dessert. The cocktail begins with caramel syrup that gets drizzled around the glass. Then you’ll stir together Guinness and vanilla extract with Jameson.
They originally called for the original Jameson, but if you use the Jameson Stout Edition, it takes it to the next level.
Bourbon Stout Cocktail
The Bourbon Stout Cocktail from Better Homes & Gardens is another dessert-like cocktail. It has vanilla, chocolate syrup, half and half, chocolate stout, and of course, whiskey, which we use Jameson Stout Edition to give it the extra oomph. It’s not quite as decadent as the Creamy Irish Stout Cocktail, but it sure is just as good.
Boozy Dark Delight
Orange and chocolate are a perfect match, and the Boozy Dark Delight cocktail recipe from BBC Good Food is a good example of that. It’s a simple combination of orange liqueur, stout, and whiskey, which, while you can use any brand, again, the Jameson Stout Edition makes for an excellent swap here.
If you can get your hands on chocolate orange shavings to garnish, that’s the best finishing touch.
Guinness Whiskey Cocktail
The Guinness Whiskey Cocktail from The Feed Feed is on the sweeter side but has a nutty depth of flavor that is heavenly. To develop the deep, rich flavor, the cocktail uses Guinness beer, cream of coconut, cinnamon syrup, and Angostura bitters.
It also calls for Irish whiskey, so we always take the liberty of using the Jameson Stout Edition.
Jameson Stout Edition
Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition is a remix of the original triple-distilled Jameson Irish whiskey. So what makes it the Stout Edition?
Well, rather than being aged in whiskey barrels like the original or in charred oak barrels like the Black Barrel, Jameson Stout Edition is aged in old stout barrels, which allows it to take on the notes of the stout beer that once filled the barrels. In the end, it gives it a taste of milk chocolate and butterscotch.
It is a great drink on the rocks, neat, or in cocktails. Find it at your local liquor store or order it online below!
