IRISH CHRISTMAS PUNCH

This Irish Christmas Punch recipe is an attempt to recreate a holiday cocktail I enjoyed at an Irish bar in Minnesota a few years back.  I think I dialed up the whiskey from the original drink.  Also, this is a good drink for cheaper orange and amaretto, since there are so many things going on.  The Trader Joe’s Amaretto was a good choice here!

Recipe

2 oz Jameson or other Irish Whiskey

3/4 oz Amaretto

1/2 oz Triple Sec

2 oz Cranberry Juice

Small lime and candied cranberry garnish

 

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.  Fill the shaker two-thirds full with ice and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled, 15 seconds.  Strain into rocks glass over large ice cube.  Garnish with lime slice and speared candied cranberries.
