Irish Maid
Whiskey
The Irish Maid cocktail is a refreshing and flavorful drink that balances sweet, citrusy, and herbal notes, making it a delightful and well-rounded drink. Elderflower, lemon juice, and cucumber add a fresh twist that soothes the bite found in other whiskey cocktails. Along with lemon and simply syrup, the Irish whiskey leaves a rich and slightly smoky undertone, giving this easy-drinking cocktail a crisp finish.
