Emerald Isle

You will find that the Emerald Isle is a minty gin cocktail is a perfect green drink for St. Patrick's Day parties, although I prefer the Caruso. A dash or two of bitters does help the drink considerably. While aromatic bitters are customary, I've found that mint bitters is an equally nice compliment and if you're feeling a little wild, orange bitters are quite interesting also.

• 1 tsp crème de menthe, green
• 2 dashes bitters
