Irish Eyes

Glass Guide- Old-fashioned Glass

Everybody will love this green whiskey cocktail. Okay, so if you don't like creamy, minty drinks this is probably not for you, but for the rest of us it's a delight. On St. Patrick's Day give your Irish sweetheart an Irish Eyes cocktail, look into her eyes and say "Tá tú go h-álainn" (You're beautiful).

This cocktail is bizarre in the best possible way. The whiskey and the creme almost cancel each other out making for a surprisingly mild taste for something with such strong ingredients. I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites ( or maybe I would, I'm undecided), but it's a definite change of pace and a very good cocktail. I give it five stars for sheer novelty.
