Recipe Notes for Irish Martini Cocktails
- Yield: 2 cocktails
- For a Pitcher of Martinis: Multiply the recipe by 4 and stir into a pitcher. Chill and stir again before serving.
- Best Irish Whiskey: We used Bushmill’s, Jameson is also quite popular.
- Dry Vermouth: An essential ingredient for making martinis. Vermouth is wine fortified with herbs and spices. Keep refrigerated after opening.
- Creme de Menthe: Mint flavor liqueur that can be green in color or clear, great for celebrations like St. Patrick’s Day.
- Simple Syrup: Mix 1/4 cup boiling water with 1/4 cup sugar, stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool before using. Simple syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
