The Shamrock is a vintage cocktail that was created in the 1930s by Harry Craddock at The Savoy Hotel in London, England. It’s a simple and refreshing recipe that calls for Irish whiskey as the base spirit and pairs it with dry vermouth, Green Chartreuse, and dark crème de menthe, which is what gives it its festive green color and makes it a great pick for post-dinner sipping on St. Patrick’s Day.
Add whiskey, dry vermouth, Green Chartreuse, and green crème de menthe to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Using a julep strainer, strain into a Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with mint sprig.
