In this festive installment of 3-Minute Bartender, we’re trading stars and stripes for a splash of green with a bold, Irish-inspired cocktail: the Shamrock Sour. Sure, it sounds like a St. Paddy’s Day special, but Dan makes the case for celebrating America’s birthday with a nod to the 33 million proud Irish-Americans who helped build (and booze up) this country.
Dan mixes up a modern riff on the classic whiskey sour using Egan’s Irish Whiskey—his go-to—plus lemon, simple syrup, a touch of green (crème de menthe or food coloring, your call), and the optional egg white for that silky, firework-worthy finish. It’s smooth, citrusy, and just gimmicky enough to make your backyard BBQ guests raise a brow and a glass.
Along the way, you’ll get a quick history lesson (spoiler: St. Patrick wasn’t even Irish), some charming Irish trivia, and a few groan-worthy jokes that’ll make you laugh in spite of yourself. So grab a coupe, shake it like a Roman candle, and get ready to toast freedom with a drink that’s proudly Irish—and just American enough to crash the 4th of July party. Sláinte!
