An Irish Seal of Approval PHOTOS: DANIEL KRIEGER Irishman Sean Cunningham at the Brass Monkey. At NYC���s hip beer-pub Brass Monkey, the only thing that beats a classic brew is a shot of Jameson���or even better, a Jameson cocktail. ���People walk in here and know the brand, know Jameson as a great shot, and they���ll look at our backbar and ask, ���What���s that other Jameson?������ says owner Sean Cunningham, referring the other expressions of the brand that the bar carries. And Cunningham, a native Irishman who calls Jameson ���king of Irish whiskey, sells a lot of ��� these ���other��� Jamesons. ���Jameson Black is great for mixing in cocktails, and our bartenders take full advantage of educating them on the mixability of Irish whiskey, he says. ���It���s more than just a shot, ��� and our customers are always excited to try new things because they already love the brand. ��� ���Rachel Burkons Black Irish ��� 1�� oz.
