Tipsy Leprechaun Milk for St Patrick’s cocktails

Tipsy Leprechaun Milk

This Tipsy Leprechaun Milk recipe is a St Patrick’s cocktails favorite: a boozy green milk with enough whiskey to make a leprechaun smile. We honor the spirit of the holiday by using a good Irish whiskey and our favorite sweet Irish cream.

You know you love it with mint extract. If you have fresh mint around, it’s worth muddling the mint into the creamy milk. We will leave it up to you if you want it green but kids would probably love just the minty green milk.

Leprechauns, as we know, are mischievous little elves. So we’ll blame them for the amount of whiskey you add to your milk. But our leprechaun left his hat on the glass, to let us know he approves of the drink.
