The Regimental cocktail of the 69th is one part Irish Whiskey and 3 parts champagne. It was first made for General Thomas Francis Meagher when he was at Fredericksburg during the war. It is said he wanted his favorite drink which was whiskey and Vichy water. The Vichy water could not be found so they used champagne instead. Thus the Regimental Cocktail was born.
