Ask A Boston Bartender: The Paddy's Apple

St. Patrick's Day is nearly upon us. Yesterday we gave you a great recipe for Colcannon Gratinée. Today, you're going to need something to wash that down. We reached out to Olive Towey, one the bartenders at the Irish bar MJ O'Connors in the Park Plaza and asked her for something green with Irish Whiskey in it. She came back with the Paddy's Apple.
