Welcome back to business rocks my name is David Edwards today is the beginning of Spring
and Irish Spring let's get into it
great to have every single one of you back here today i am stoked to show you a cocktail of my
own creation and it's going to be interesting it's a little bit boost forward but not too booze
forward because you know what the first time i tried making it i really enjoyed it i tinkered
around a little bit and i passed it around and i gave it to one of my family members who like 20
minutes later was polluted and i realized it was too strong so this is a modified version
of the Irish spring however the other reason that i took the time to create this cocktail
is because I've teamed up with Rob from Robs home bar and vino from 60 second cocktail
to bring you a new St. Patrick's day challenge it's called the hashtag drunkenshamrock2021
now there's four simple rules the first one is that it must be Irish inspired
and that could be anything from the liquors you're using to history to whatever it is
that inspires you about the Irish and you know what could even be a potato but that's
totally up to you the second is that it must be green II'll say Patrick's day so why not
the third is you need to have the hashtag in here which is hashtag drunkenshamrock2021 either in the
title or in the description somewhere and the last one is it has to be in by the end of march four
pretty simple rules and you know what let me show you what i came up with grab your mixing glass and
i really debated on the mixing or the shaking that i really just didn't feel like shaking
anything when i created this cocktail so that's a bonus easy is better the first thing we need is a
little bit of Jameson whiskey here it's nice it's simple it is sweeter has more floral notes to it
and I'm for the purposes of this cocktail I've actually cut everything in half
and you'll see why once i put this all together so for this we need one ounce or 30 milliliters
yeah look at that the next thing that we need is a little bit of vodka now I'm using a
local vodka this is heretic spirits they are about an hour to the west of me and
I'm a huge fan of supporting locals so if your local distillery hey send me your stuff i will
be more than happy to showcase it here on the show for this we need one ounce or 30 milliliters
yeah look at that it's nice it's sweet and we need a little bit of the
melon liqueur of your choice in my case i have access to the Mcguinness melon liqueur
you could use Midori or something else that suitably works for your personal
taste and for this we are going to use three quarters of an ounce or 22.5 milliliters
yeah and next we need bartenders ketchup yes that's right some saint Germain now
St-Germain is an elder flower liqueur and for this we need half an ounce or 15 milliliters
looking pretty good looking a little bit green we're already in the right track
now we've got some sweetness in here between the liqueur the Jameson and you know what we
need to balance this out a little bit so what we're going to do is we're going to grab a lime
and we need 1 ounce or 30 milliliters so we'll chop our lime in half and then what
we will do is we're going to cut ourselves a very small lime wheel
put that off to the side here because we're thinking about our garnish in advance
and then you know just squeeze the crap out of it until you have one ounce
and one lime should give you close to one ounce 30 mils yeah and this is just to balance this out
all right so we're going to do is we're going to grab some ice
and we're going to stir this for a good 30 to 60 seconds we want to get it to a really good
dilution play point and we want it to be very chilled and look at that absolutely gorgeous
oh yeah just right so what we're going to do is we're going to place this off to the side here
and I've spilled a little bit so I'm just going to clean this up always work with a clean surface
and grab your glass of choice in my case I'm using
a nice fancy little rocks glass so what we're going to do is we're going to use some fresh ice
and we're going to take our garnish and we're going to put it into our glass first
so we'll just slide that right here off to the side so our garnish is in there nice and easy and
we don't have to worry about it grab your strainer of choice in my case I'm using a julep strainer
and look at that it looks great but we're not done now we're going to add some soda
water and in my case I'm using Schweppes you could use Canada dry club soda you could use
any type of soda water if you want if you have one of those soda makers that you make personally on
your own that works too it's up to you and we're just going to top this with two to three ounces
oh yeah look at that beautiful attractive it's green give it a very slight stir and
all we're doing is we're just mixing this just to incorporate everything let's give it a try
oh yeah it's really good you have
a little bit of the melon coming out directly at you and it's balanced nicely with the lemon juice
and the elder flower look here and you get small subtle hints of the Jameson in there oh yeah
this is a dangerous drink you could drink well
um have a few of these you'll be sitting on the ground in true st patty's day fashion
relaxing with your friends not a care in the world and celebrating everything Irish in the world you
know what I'm going to do I'm going to put the ingredients and the method of how to make this
