Thirsty Thursday: Luck of the Irish Whiskey Cocktail

Irish Whiskey Cocktail

This weekend is St. Patrick’s Day, so pour yourself a pint, adorn yourself in green and get lucky! Ahem, I mean … celebrate the “spirit” of the Emerald Isle! Put down your green beer and awaken your inner pub keeper by mixing up a cocktail worthy of a leprechaun’s approval.

Our nod to St. Patrick is a Celtic-inspired libation made with Irish whiskey, some smooth Irish cream and a touch of crème de menthe. Top with mint chocolate candy shavings for a sweet finish. With the luck of the Irish, you’ll have yourself a rich, luscious sipping cocktail this St. Paddy’s Day.

You can also partake in the festivities by polishing up on your Irish brogue and mixing a few beer-based cocktails.

Bottoms up, lads!

    I am a 64 year old grandmother who has thoroughly enjoyed watching the cooking channel with my little 7 year old granddaughter.. She loves to help me in the kitchen and always wants to try the new recipes she sees on your channel. I was so disappointed to see the commercial about the kindle where the man made inference to "his husband". My innocent granddaughter remarked, " Nannie he means his wife doesn't he?" I am not a bigot nor am I prejudiced, but I do wish my grandchildren could be a little older before they are subjected to decisions they cannot possibly understand. My TV channels are becoming more and more limited. Respectfully submitted, A Grandmother
