Another not-too common Irish cocktail is The Emerald. The Emerald is an Irish whiskey cocktail that looks sophisticated when it is poured into a martini glass instead of a regular tumbler.
The Emerald is similar to a Manhattan; however, it is made with Irish whiskey instead of bourbon and it uses orange bitters rather than Angostura bitters. So even though St. Patrick’s Day is over you can still partake of the Emerald and have all the luck of the Irish!
