A Truly Transcontinental Cocktail

Green whiskey? There's no such thing. Except at The Royal Leichhardt, where bartender Tanguy Chiron has created a new concoction that gives Irish whiskey a decidedly Celtic hue.

The Emerald Isle marries the smoke from a peated single malt, with sweet iridescent Japanese melon liqueur and a hint of punchy spice with the addition of Cascade Ginger Beer. “Whiskey and ginger beer are a natural pair,” says Chiron.

Here's how to make his Japano-Celtic fusion at home.

Emerald Isle
Makes 1 serve. Approx. 1.7 standard drinks.

Ingredients:
45ml Connemara Peated Single Malt
