Green and Gold in color and Whiskey drenched, could there be a more perfect cocktail for St. Patrick’s Day!? After receiving the Flaviar tasting box of unique spirits I knew the Rye Whiskey would make for the perfect creative cocktail. I wanted to create a drink centered around the Whiskey, rather than a bunch of sweet ingredients with some liquor poured in. So I crafted this delicious Cucumber Whiskey Smash. The mint, lime, and cucumber create a refreshing Spring flavor while the Whiskey takes your soul into that warm and wild gypsy mood.
Green beer is fun, but kick it up a notch and get classy this year with the perfect St. Patty’s Day drink…The Cucumber Whiskey Smash of course. Cheers!
So there’s no gold at the end of this cocktail but if you’re looking for delicious treats to pair with it, check out my list of 6 Guinness Recipes to try!
