Why Not Honor the Irish Year Round?
Another St. Patrick’s day has come and gone (along with another Italian Unification Day, by the way—151 years!), and with it the drinking public at large is shuttling away from ordering drinks that feature Irish whiskey as well as odd green beers. For the latter, let’s be thankful, but for the former, the Irish whiskey, well, it’s a crying shame. I say, order and mix up the good Irish-based drinks year round! Don’t be shy about it. And if you’re not sure what to order, or make yourself, check out this Irish drink blog post I wrote pre-Paddy’s on the Seattle Mag blog. Now you’re ready to venerate that particular Saint Patrick throughout the year.
PS: This post may have been influenced by the Irish whiskey I had recently.

We had some tasty Irish Whiskey cocktails at the Back Door at Roxy’s at the end of the night, I think they were called “Irish Lad” any idea what might be in it? Looked like your photo, whiskey and citrus was definitely the flavor profile.

Sadly, I don’t know the Irish Lad–though I know some Irish lads. But I’m itching to find out. I may have to stop by Roxy’s my own self to investigate.
