St. Patrick’s day cocktails. You’re here cos you’d like some ideas for Tuesday aren’t you?!
St. Patrick’s Day is an excuse for people to imbibe and the whole world (well parts of it at least) seem to be draped in everything green. Tuesday is a bit of a rubbish night for celebratory drinking and the dreaded Coronavirus seems to be trying to spoil the party. For those interested in such things, this time of year should be all about 6 Nations rugby. That’s another reason to celebrate the Irish.
Do you need any more excuses to celebrate, raise a glass and enjoy the craic?
Of all the cocktail recipes out there for St. Patrick’s themed cocktails, these are 2 of the best;
Shamrock
45 ml Jamesons Irish whiskey
45 ml Martini extra dry vermouth
15 ml Green Chartreuse
15 ml Green creme de menthe
Admittedly this is a full on whiskey based drink. The final 2 ingredients are principally there to provide a bit of colour. However, both the highly minty creme de menthe and the powerful green Chartreuse are big robust flavours so they add flavour and sweetness to the mix.
Or how about this?
Our second tip is for the classic Irish cocktail the Tipperary. There are a couple of versions of this
Tipperary #1
45 ml Jamesons Irish Whiskey
30 ml Martini rosso vermouth
15 ml Green Chartreuse
garnish with orange twist
This is also a fairly potent cocktail. But ones to sit somewhere warm, and relax.
