Irish Whiskey Milk Punch
This creamy cocktail is another great one to make to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day (along with my Luck of the Irish Cocktail)!
You can serve it either hot or cold. The ingredients are warmed through in a saucepan on the stovetop.
Serve hot in Irish Coffee glasses and drink it warm with some grated nutmeg on top – perfect for cold nights and when you need a pick me up.
Alternatively, fill a glass with ice and pour the warmed drink over the top and sip like a glass of Bailey’s at Christmas!
If you enjoy eggnog, then this is very similar and tastes so good!
Scáiltín Cocktail Ingredients
The clue to some of the ingredients is in the name of the drink:
- Whole Milk
- Jameson Irish Whiskey
- Bailey’s Irish Cream
- Honey
- Ground Ginger
- Ground Cinnamon
- Whole Nutmeg – grated for garnish, optional
Jameson is produced from a blend of grain whiskey and single pot still whiskey, which uses a mixture of malted and unmalted or “green” Irish barley, all sourced from within a fifty-mile radius around the distillery in Cork. The barley is dried in a closed kiln fired by natural gas (formerly anthracite coal). This is in contrast to the traditional method used in some Scotch whisky distilleries, which fire the kiln with peat, adding a distinctive peat flavour.
