Traditional Shamrock


 1 1/2 oz Irish Whiskey
2 oz heavy cream
1 1/2 oz green creme de menthe

Shake with ice and serve in rocks glass. Garnish with a leprechaun or a wee bit of the Blarney.

Submitted by O'Donahue's, Nyack, New York USA.
Editor's note: Many recognize the shamrock as a classic icon of Ireland. In the tenderly patriotic song Sweet Isle O'Dreams, lyricist Geo. Graff, Jr. and Chauncey Olcott remember the shamrock, blarney and the Shannon together with tearful longing:

"Dear Isle O' Dreams , I love you,
Land where the shamrock grows,
Sweet Isle of smiles and blarney,
And where the Shannon flows,
Dear land of love, where laughter,
Thru ev'ry teardrop gleams,
Ireland my own, I love you,
My sweet Isle O'Dreams."
