(didnt want this to get buried in existing St. Patrick's Day thread- let me know if I should delete and move)

Derived from the Test Pilot (and the B-52), i came up with this during an impulse of delight:

:drink:the KILTARTAN PILOT (or, an Irish airman foresees deserting to the Pacific)

3/4 oz. Irish whiskey (I recommend Powers gold, it's more bracing than Jameson)
1 oz. gold/amber Puerto Rican rum (used Ron de Barrilito, has notes of whiskey/cognac)
1/2 oz. Cruzan Black Strap or other dark rum
1/2 oz. Bailey's or other Irish cream
1/2 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. falernum
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier
1/2 oz. Kahlua (or other coffee liquor)
1 dash Angostura bitters
2 dashes Pernod or Herbsaint

Blend with 8 oz. of ice for 5 seconds, pour into tall glass, garnish with green maraschino cocktail cherry.

--the Bailey's and irish whiskey flavors all come through and, perhaps counter-intuitively, play well with the notes of rum, lime, clove, licorice, citrus, and coffee, blended together into a tiki/pre-Saint Patty's Day concoction that my customer (wife) thoroughly enjoyed.

Mabuhay!
