Shots of Irish Gold

Though March 17 honors the death of Saint Patrick it is also a time of international celebration toasting the luck of the Irish. When St. Patrick’s Day rolls around the truly festive dye their hair green for luck, wear green to avoid finger pinches and drink green beer to celebrate. There are also rounds of shots at every bar stop.

The Irish Hungarian Shot

Admittedly The Irish Hungarian received a little stir after the photo for thorough sipping. It’s rather good. It’s no wonder shots are a fave of Friday night revelers. My only wish is these little flavor packed goodies stayed on the tongue a little longer so they could really be savored.

2/3 ounce Irish Cream (chilled)

1/3 ounce Zwack (chilled)

Layer each in a shot glass in order given.  Shoot responsibly. Jager could be substituted for Zwack.

Flavor of the Irish Cream comes across first and then “Bam!” the spice of Zwack strikes with zing all over the taste buds. This would also be the perfect blend for weekend coffee.
