Servings: 1 cocktail
Calories: 230kcal
Equipment
- Bar spoon (or use a teaspoon)
- Citrus juicer (if using fresh citrus)
- Cocktail pick (for garnish)
- Vegetable peeler (for garnish)
- Chef scissors (for garnish - or use a small Xacto knife)
Ingredients
- lime peel (optional - for garnish)
- 2 ounces Irish whiskey (or other blended whiskey)
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- ½ ounce lime juice
- ¾ ounce maple syrup
- 1 bar spoon Midori
- ½ bar spoon Blue Curaçao
Instructions
Garnish (optional)
- To make the shamrock-shaped lime peel garnish, cut a large piece of lime peel using a vegetable peeler.
- Turn the lime peel upside down so you are looking at the white side. Use a cocktail pick or toothpick to trace the shape of a shamrock into the peel.
- Using sharp chef scissors, cut out the shamrock shape. (If you don't have chef scissors, you can use an Xacto knife or sharp paring knife and cutting board.)
- Skewer the shamrock onto the cocktail pick and set it aside while you make the drink.
Cocktail
- Add the lemon juice, lime juice, and maple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Add in the Midori and Blue Curacao liqueurs using a bar spoon to measure. (Rather than pouring with the bottle, it's easier to pour into a clean jigger and then pour into the measuring spoon from the jigger.)
- Add the whiskey to the cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker with ice, and then seal it up and shake well, about 15-20 times.
- Strain the drink into your serving glass.
- Add the lime peel garnish to the glass, and serve.
