What We're Drinking with Dan Dunn

On this episode of 3-Minute Bartender, we tip our caps, and our glasses, to the Tipperary, a criminally underrated Irish cocktail that deserves a standing ovation (or at least a respectful slow clap). Born in 1916 from the mind of Hugo Ensslin—yes, the same mad genius who gave us the Aviation—the original recipe called for equal parts Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, and green Chartreuse. But the version that really sings? Sean Muldoon’s riff from The Dead Rabbit, where a touch of syrup, bitters, and chilled water turn this boozy ballad into a perfectly balanced showstopper. It’s Ireland in a glass... no passport required.

Recorded in front of a packed house at the legendary Townhouse in Venice Beach, this special live episode of What We’re Drinking features none other than Glenn Howerton—actor, writer, and the man responsible for making sociopathic narcissism look downright charming as Dennis Reynolds on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Glenn joins Dan and co-host Brad Japhe to talk about Four Walls, the Irish-American whiskey brand he co-founded with his Sunny cohorts Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day. They sip, they reminisce, they dive into whiskey geekery, and of course, they talk Sunny—the show that refuses to age, much like a well-kept bottle of Irish. Glenn also shares insights into his other work, from A.P. Bio to BlackBerry, proving he’s got range well beyond the hallowed walls of Paddy’s Pub.

The night, emceed by the golden-throated Mike Dawson, kicked off with comedian Jimmie Bradley warming up the crowd, and more importantly, raised funds for local animal rescue Deity—because nothing says "good people" like getting tipsy for a noble cause.

Laughter, whiskey, and philanthropy? Just another night at What We’re Drinking.
