Cocktail O’Clock: Forget Green Beer
St. Patrick’s Day is no reason to get silly. Leave the green beer and jungle juice to the kids, and mix up our favorite Irish-inspired cocktail we’ve seen this year.
Irish Castaway
1 ounce Irish whiskey
1 ounce Shellback Spiced Rum
1/4 ounce vanilla liqueur
1/4 ounce lemon juice
Bar spoon of brown sugar
2 ounces Brut Champagne
Directions: Combine brown sugar and liquids except champagne in cocktail shaker, no ice. Stir to dissolve brown sugar. Add ice. Shake to blend. Strain into highball glass over fresh ice. Top with brut champagne.
Yumm… if only! You forget that some of us get the green beer simply because it’s cheaper than the fancy pants drinks, haha. If I had this stuff on hand, I’d be all over it.
