A black nail cocktail is a mixture of Irish Mist and Irish whiskey in roughly equal portions, being typically garnished with orange zest.[1]
A black nail can be served in an old-fashioned glass on the rocks, neat, or "up" in a stemmed glass. It is most commonly served over ice. A black nail served without ice is sometimes called a straight black nail.
