FAQ
Q: Can I use a different type of whiskey?
A: Absolutely! While Irish whiskey gives the drink its St. Paddy’s Day authenticity, feel free to experiment with bourbon or rye whiskey for a unique spin.
Q: What’s the best way to achieve the green color?
A: The combination of Blue Curaçao and orange juice naturally creates a vibrant green hue. Adjust the ratio slightly if you want a deeper or lighter shade.
Q: Can I make this in large batches?
A: Yes! Scale up the recipe and mix it in a punch bowl. Add soda and ice just before serving to keep it fizzy and cold.
Raise a glass of the Tipsy Leprechaun this St. Patrick’s Day and toast to good luck and great company. Sláinte! 🍀
