With its tropical yellow hue, this citrusy tipple (meaning, alcoholic drink) mixes Irish whiskey with St. Germain elderflower, lemon juice and cucumber slices. It’s a great introductory drink for non-whiskey drinkers and it’ll brighten any St. Patrick’s Day party. To make, shake together whiskey, St. Germain, lemon juice and simple syrup, then strain into a highball over ice and add cucumbers.
