The Story

We couldn’t have a menu, even a mini-menu, without recognizing our “Runaway Anchor Godfather, Anders Erickson. So we present a cocktail from year ago, but worthy of the season.

Our final St. Patricks Day cocktail features what could arguably be called the “national drink” for the holiday, Guinness. For this drink you’ll be mixing a cocktail in a shaker (there’s lime juice, so no stirring this one), and then pouring it into the glass full of beer.

If you’re using a standard pint glass, you’ll be able to add the entire can of Guinness before topping off with the liquor elements. Make sure not to skip the grated nutmeg, as you want every sip to have that aroma in the mix. Grating actual nutmeg is preferred, but also not as easy to find as the stuff on the spice section of Target. So do what you must, but don’t skip that nutmeg garnish! Cheers!

Ingredients
  • 12 oz Guinness (we divert from Ander’s recipe, calling for Founder’s Porter)

  • 1 oz Jamaican Rum (we use Mount Gay)

  • 1 oz Cognac (or Brandy if you’re in a pinch)

  • ¾ oz Fresh Lime Juice

  • ½ oz Rich Demerara Syrup

  • Garnish with grated nutmeg

Preparation
  1. Pour the beer into a large pint style glass, leaving 1 inch for additional liquor

  2. In a shaking tin, add the remaining ingredients

  3. Add ice and shake for 10 seconds

  4. Strain (or double strain if you hate ice chips like me) into the prepared beer glass

  5. Once the foam as settled, grate nutmeg on the top, generously!
