Why we love this recipe-

• It is so festive! You just can’t beat a green cocktail for St. Patty’s Day.
• We love the flavors in this drink, it is a such a fun twist on a classic margarita.
• Twice the booze! This cocktail features both Jameson Irish Whiskey AND tequila!

Irish Margarita Ingredients:

• 1 cup ice
• 1 oz. Jameson Whiskey
• 1 oz. Tequila
• 2 oz. Pineapple Juice
• 1 oz. Peach Schnapps
• 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
• Splash of Blue Curacao
• Agave syrup for the rim
• Gold sprinkles for the rim
• An extra lime wedge or wheel for garnish.

Directions:

Step 1: To rim the margarita glass, add a layer of agave to a saucer, and to a separate saucer, add a layer of gold sprinkles.

Step 2: Dip the rim of the glass into the agave, followed by the sprinkles.

Step 3: To your cocktail shaker, add ice, Jameson, tequila, pineapple juice, peach schnapps, and lime juice. Add a splash of blue curacao.

Step 4: Shake to chill and combine.

Step 5: Check the shade of green, and add a small amount of blue curacao or pineapple juice to get your desired shade of green.

Step 6: Add fresh ice to your margarita glass, and pour the Irish Margarita mixture, strained, into your glass.

Enjoy!

Substitutions and Tips:

• You can swap the peach schnapps for triple sec if you prefer.
• You can substitute any tequila brand you love, or any other Irish whiskey, as well.
• Essentially, the only ingredients you must include is the pineapple juice and curacao for the color in this green margarita recipe.
