The Pot of Gold is a St. Patrick’s Day cocktail that was first published by Liquor.com. The recipe is a play on the Whiskey Sour template that is similar to the Penicillin in flavor profile. What sets it apart, however, is its inclusion of Irish whiskey and egg white that is shaken with honey and ginger syrup, lemon, and Islay Scotch, served up, and topped with gold flakes as a nod to the treasure found at the end of a rainbow in Irish tales.
Add Irish whiskey, ginger honey syrup, lemon juice, egg white, and Scotch to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using tongs, remove ice from shaker.
Dry shake for 5-10 more seconds to emulsify egg.
Using a Hawthorne strainer, strain into coupe glass.
Garnish with edible gold flakes.
