IRISH GOLD RUSH COCKTAIL

Made with Irish whiskey, fresh lemon and honey, the Irish Gold Rush is a bright and balanced cocktail that lets real honey shine. Perfect for raising a glass on St Patrick’s Day ... or any day.

 

INGREDIENTS

60 ml Irish whiskey

20 ml fresh lemon juice

15 ml honey (or honey syrup - see note below)

Ice

Lemon slice or twist for garnish

 

METHOD

Add whiskey, lemon juice and honey to a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake well until chilled.

Strain into a glass over fresh ice.

Garnish with a lemon slice or twist.

 

NOTE

Honey syrup is honey mixed with water so it becomes thinner and easier to mix into drinks. To make honey syrup, add ½ cup honey to ½ cup warm (not boiling) water in a jar or small bowl. Stir or shake until the honey fully dissolves. Let it cool before using. Lasts about 2-3 weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge.
