Countdown to St. Patrick’s Day with Power’s Irish Whiskey and the Chilled 100 Bartenders.
Power’s Irish Whiskey has teamed up with the Chilled 100 bartenders in our cocktail countdown to St. Patrick’s Day! Celebrate with us by mixing original cocktails created by our talented bartenders using Power’s Irish Whiskey.
Throughout its long history, Powers Irish Whiskey has shaped not only Irish culture but the world far beyond the Emerald Isle. Along the way, Powers has been a brand of firsts that continues to innovate even today.
Inspiration: This cocktail is a chance to both celebrate for St. Patrick’s Day as well as know you’re having something that is healthy with your spirits. An Irish twist on a traditional whiskey sour that includes beautiful and tasty greens to make you feel as if you have been transported to the Emerald Isle. The syrup is made from the part of the pineapple we usually throw away, so it is doubly “green”!
This can easily be prepared in advance and simply shaken or poured over ice to serve- the ultimate in simplicity for your holiday entertainment.
Also, there is no wrong answer for the garnish! Pictured with a fragrant basil leaf, but feel free to go crazy with Irish flags, gummy shamrocks, or even images of St. Patrick himself! Enjoy!
