Assumpta's Kiss |
![]() |
![]() I devised this cocktail in honour of the actress Dervla Kirwan and in memory of her portrayal of Assumpta Fitzgerald, the proprietress of Fitzgerald's, in the BBC TV series "Ballykissangel". "BallyK" (as it was popularly called) was set in Ireland's County Wicklow and filmed in and around the delightful village of Avoca, a few miles from Arklow, the county town of Wicklow. |
