# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The balance between smooth Irish whiskey and bright mint feels like discovering a pot of gold
  • It comes together in literally five minutes but looks like something from a high end bar
02 -
  • Over shaking will dilute the drink so watch that 15 second mark closely
  • Room temperature ingredients will make your drink watery so keep everything chilled
03 -
  • Chill your glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving
  • Lime juice instead of lemon creates an entirely different but equally delicious profile
