Drunken Irishman Glaze

A fantastic glaze decoded from my favorite Irish pub. Sure, there may have been some shots passed around between myself and the chef to crack the code, but I'm more than willing to make sacrifices. This is amazing on top of just about anything grilled or broiled... for a sweet little kick of Irish bliss.
