Named for a county in Ireland, this cocktail is made with Irish whisky and emerald-green herbal Chartreuse liqueur.

Grape juice accents the berry flavor in this terrific-tasting drink.

Last year, while traveling near the Amazon in Peru, I stayed at a delightful river camp north of Iquitos. Wanting a drink somewhat drier than a Pisco Sour, I created  — with the assistance of the bartender  — the "Anaconda." It is simple but proved most refreshing after my daily jungle treks.
