Mexico’s Shamrock Low Calorie Drink Recipe

Mexico’s Shamrock – recipe by Cheri Loughlin, The Intoxicologist

1/2 ounce Camarena Reposado Tequila

1/2 ounce Irish Whiskey

1 ounce Apple Juice

1/2 teaspoon Honey

1 ounce Ginger Beer

1/8 Lime Wedge – Squeezed

Combine liquids except ginger beer in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to blend. Strain into rocks glass over fresh ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with lime wedge.

Ventures a little toward the sweet side due to both honey and ginger beer inclusion, but contains nice balance. Two lime wedges squeezed would make this a little less sweet while retaining proper balance with only one additional calorie.
