On the hunt for an interesting cocktail based in Irish Whiskey, the name of this one jumped right off the digital page. We were intrigued by the combination of Irish whiskey with coffee liqueur. Adding orgeat, a tiki staple, was eyebrow raising, and then just tossing lemon in at the end? We were skeptical.
The outcome is a very interesting cocktail. Almost a St Patrick’s Tiki Drink. All the flavors have somehow combined into something new, which we love about cocktails. So, if you are looking for an interesting way to add some Jameson to your Saint Patrick’s Day (or any day), check this one out! Plus, as it requires a straw to drink, it’s VR Enabled!!! Cheers!
