Comments:
The Blackthorn Cocktail may
have the best claim to the
Blackthorn name as it's made
with sloe gin and sloe berries
are the fruit of the blackthorn
tree. But since the blackthorn
tree is the traditional source
for the wood used for Irish
walking sticks (shillelaghs),
we are more than willing to
accept that connection for
this concoction.
