Irish Maid

The IRISH MAID is a botanical Irish whiskey cocktail with the coolness of cucumber to make it perfect for spring and summer. Instead of muddling lemon in a shaker prior to the mix (as in a Whiskey Smash), cucumber is muddled and mixed with lemon, elderflower liqueur and Irish whiskey. The result is a refreshing floral cocktail that is great for those who aren’t regular whiskey drinkers as well as those who are.

Requirements: Irish whiskey, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup, 3-4 cucumber slices

• 2 oz. Irish whiskey
• 1/2 oz. St-Germain elderflower liqueur
• 3/4 oz. lemon juice
• 1/2 – 3/4 oz. simple syrup
• 2 cucumber slices to muddle, 1 cucumber slice to garnish

Cut 2 peeled cucumber slices into quarters and muddle in shaker. Add other ingredients and shake vigorously to chill. Double strain into a rocks glass filled with large ice cubes. Garnish with a cucumber slice.

Comments: Beware with the 2 ounces Irish whiskey — this goes down easily.
