n. an amount of alcohol, described as a "drop" in order to downplay the volume consumed. In many traditional Irish drinking songs, the narrator refers to only a "drop" of liquor, yet it always seems enough to lead to wacky misadventures.
"took a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking/ that's the Paddy's cure whenever he's up for drinking"
- "The Rocky Road to Dublin"
"Did you see Bill last night? He was so wasted. He told me he only had an Irish Drop"
"to help him on with his work every day he had a drop of the craythur every morn"
- "Finnegan's Wake"

Get the irish cream mug.One of the best liquors on the market for the money. It has the smoothness of Jack Daniels, the floral palate to match good scotches, and a great honey taste that is better than most liqueuers. On top of all of this, its still a mid price range whiskey. Dollar for dollar, one of the best alcoholic purchases a person can make.
