Shamrock Cocktail

A lucky day  - I chose a 'Shamrock Cocktail' on page 158 of the Bartender's Guide.

The recipe:

1 1/2 oz Irish Whisky (Jameson's)
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat0
1 teaspoon Green Créme de Menthe (LeRoux)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.
Serve with an olive.

The drink's predominant taste was from the creme de menthe; not unpleasant but it obscured the whiskey taste which I like. Probably a good drink for St. Pat's Day!

Salud.
