- Add more whiskey, lemon, honey, etc. Enjoy!
Irish Whiskey Punch – Perfect for St Patrick’s Day!
Irish whiskey It’s popular in part because of its easy drinkability. Irish whiskey is sweet, but not as sweet as bourbon. Irish whiskey is smooth, but still has the complexity of a brown spirit.
This whiskey punch has a lovely yellow hue and topped with green mint leaves, it ties in perfectly to the St Patrick’s Day shenanigans!
Punch Etiquette
Punch is the perfect crowd-pleaser, but make sure sure you have the right setup. A Punch bowl is obviously ideal but you can use a pot, bundt cake pan, soup tureen, or any other container, make sure it’s the right size for the number of guests.
Have a ladle for guests to use. After a while some of the ingredients may settle at the bottom of the punch, so from time to time, use the ladle to stir the punch.
If serving cold, ladle the punch over the ice occasionally to keep the punch cool.
Recipe Tips
Allow the green tea bags to steep for at least 10 minutes.
Use a heatproof bowl if keeping warm.
Stir occasionally with a ladle, to remix the cocktail.
Garnish with mint leaves.
