While there is a burning debate as to St. Paddy’s Day or St. Patty’s Day, we’re going with the tradition of double-d’s St. Paddy’s Day and celebrating with a classic Irish Maid Cocktail. I can certainly tell you there is no debate on how good this cocktail is. I especially like the hint of honey from the honey simple syrup I made using Cocktail Artist Premium Simply Syrup. Their Premium Simple Syrup is the perfect blend of pure cane sugar and Organic Blue Agave Nectar.

And while you are enjoying the warm taste of Irish Whiskey, bright lemon juice and hints of sweet honey, we top it off with a slice of cucumber and a sprig of fresh mint. Please don’t skimp on the cucumber and mint garnish because they are far more than just garnishes. You get a bright burst of their flavors that make this cocktail the perfect St. Paddy’s Day cocktail.

If you are entertaining this St. Paddy’s Day, my Classic Ruben Sliders are the ideal food pairing with this cocktail.
