Every time someone compliments me on the cocktail I've just made for them, I inform them that I come from a long line of Irish saloon keepers--I design a mighty fine cocktail. It's true. My father and his father, who migrated to the U.S. from County Galway, owned somewhat famous Irish pubs: my grandfather, Joe Sr., in Jersey City and my dad Joe Jr., in Minneapolis. In fact, Duff's, one of my father’s...
