So I just got back from Ireland... Best Drink EVER!

So this may not be new to you, but I swear, out of at least 50 people I asked, only 1 person ever heard of this and they had no idea what was in it.

Let me start by saying this is without a doubt, an alcoholic beverage. You'll see why in a minute. Allow me to also mention, one of the best things about my recent trip to Ireland was the people. They have to be the friendliest and most talkative people I have ever come across. This is coming from a girl that grew up in a very proud Chicago Irish family. My dad, Papa Mac, was from an Irish Catholic family of 9 brothers and sisters. The McManus clan. Anyhow, the US stereotype of "fighting Irish" didn't seem to ring true. At least during my trip anyhow. More like the "talking Irish" or "the drinking Irish" or "the friendly Irish"! Just not "the fighting Irish" - everyone was having too much fun to fight.

Oh yeah, the drink. Green Tea! This drink is like 90% liquor and it really tastes like a refreshing glass of green tea. So what is in it? Well I didn't reference Ireland without reason. Ireland, the home of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Yep Whiskey with an "ey". Only Dublin Ireland Whiskey is spelled this way. It's one of those strange liquor laws from long ago. Kind of like bourbon only comes from Kentucky. Thats not actually true but everyone says it- lol.

Here we go... Ingredients couldn't be simpler: Jameson Irish Whiskey, Peach Schnapps, and Sprite. Yup, thats it. This can be made as shots or over ice in a glass (that's how I like them). 1 ounce of Whiskey, 1 ounce of Peach Schnapps then top with 2 ounces of Sprite and pour over ice. For shots, shake the same ingredients with ice then pour into shot glasses. As you could imagine, 4 ounces of liquid should fill 4 shot glasses nicely.

WARNING! These can sneak up on you. It doesn't taste like an alcoholic beverage so you may have a tendency to order one too many. Cheers and enjoy!
