Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
This next cocktail was actually inspired by my daughter. She’s a spunky, happy, goofball. Seeing how I made her a nonalcoholic version, I tried to make it without any artificial colors that seem to be prominent for this occasion. So I made my famous green mint syrup to give it that beautiful green sheen. Look for the recipe in the comments section. For the mocktail version, just omit the whiskey and adjust the other ingredients to your tastes. Enjoy!

- 2oz Irish whiskey @bushmillsusa
- 1.5oz green mint syrup (more or less to taste)
