St Patrick’s Day, on Thursday 17 March, is the ultimate annual celebration of Irish culture. The Irish are well known for their love of a great time, so we’re raising a glass to them this month with these cocktails designed especially with the Emerald Isle in mind.
This layered shooter cocktail mimics the colours of the Irish flag, with green at the base, followed by white and orange. Pour each spirit slowly over the back of a teaspoon, one at a time, to create the layers in this surprisingly delicious drink.
