The Leprechaun is one of the most refreshing Irish whiskey cocktails, and is quite simply an Irish whiskey and tonic. Although simple, it is a nice light cocktail for a St. Patrick's Day lunch or primer for the real party. I like to go with a premium tonic water like Q Tonic or Fever Tree and, if you must have some green, switch to a lime wedge garnish like the Gin and Tonic.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Irish whiskey
- tonic water
- lemon twist for garnish
Preparation:
- Pour the Irish whiskey into a highball glass filled with ice.
- Top with tonic water.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
