For St Patrick's Day, you should consider a cocktail celebrating the Irish heritage. You have many options, including the Irish whiskey cocktail. But there are also modern options. Here are a few.
Celtic Mix cocktail
A St Patrick's day drink combining Irish whiskey and Scotch whiskey can be a great way to celebrate the day. Stirred on the rocks with fresh lemon juice and bitters, this drink can make any drinker homesick for County Cork.
Baby Guinness
If you're looking for a new drink for St Patrick's Day, try a Baby Guinness shot. This is a great option to green beer, and it can be made in large quantities. These little shots are easy to make, and they're the perfect drink for a party.
Cactus of Ireland
Drinking Irish Cactus is a great way celebrate St Patricks Day. However, you don't need a glass of green. The Irish Cactus cocktail, which combines Irish Cream and Tequila, is a delicious and simple cocktail. It's a great dessert drink and has a distinctive tequila-like flavor. It is easy to make. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. Silver tequila works well as a substitute for aged tequila.

What are the best mixed drinks to order at bars?
I would recommend an Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail is made with bourbon whiskey and sugar syrup.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe called for just whiskey, sugar, and bitters.
Because they liked the taste of the old-fashioned version, people added ice to their mix.
A Manhattan could be another option. Another great option. This is essentially a variant on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.
Because it is easy to prepare and delicious, this is a popular choice for bartenders.
What size ice cube tray is best?
Either a 6-x-8-inch or 5-x-7-inch ice cube tray is needed.

How To
How to make the best brandy Alexander recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water. We'll dissolve 1 cup of granulated white sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Add the Cognac to a shaker. Top it with half a cup of ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
