'''Three Wise Men''' is a drink formed as a mixture of three types of [[Whisky|whiskey]] that are each named after a man.<ref name=Spruce>https://www.thespruceeats.com/three-wise-men-shot-recipe-761509</ref> Each brand that is usually included is named for its maker (the "wise men" of the title, which is an allusion to the [[Biblical Magi]]). Although informally called a [[cocktail]], it does not meet the usual definition of the term "cocktail", as it includes only [[distilled beverage|spirits]] with no other ingredients. Several variations exist that include other ingredients or substitute [[tequila]] or [[rum]] for some of the whiskey. |
