Recipe Ingredients

Fresh Lime Juice – You can use premade lime juice but I do prefer freshly squeezed lime juice from using fresh limes.

Fresh Mint Leaves – You will want to mince the mint and save a mint sprig for garnish. Nothing beats a fresh mint flavor.

Simple Syrup – You can use premade simple syrup or make your own (just make sure the sugar dissolves entirely)

Jameson Whiskey – You can use your favorite Irish whiskey if you wish.

Bacardi Lemon – You can also use lemon-lime soda or white rum instead.

Green Food Coloring – You can skip this if you want but it does give the cocktail and overall green color.

Club Soda – You will just need a splash of club soda or ginger ale and you can also use ginger beer.

Storage Information

  • Store any leftovers in the fridge and consume within 24 hours (the carbonation may be flat at this point but still should taste just fine).
