adamiss: Word of advice - never ask for one of these at a traditional Irish pub.  If you must, try using a Celtic friendly term, like “Dublin Drop.” The last time I tried to order a round using the drink’s true name was at Kelly’s Irish Times in DC.  The bartender gave me a look of death and in a thick brogue said: “You wouldn’t ask for a Kamikaze in a Japanese bar, now would you?” thephenthouse:indieandyy:roseharding: Cultural sensitivity.  Important.
