Cameron’s Kick

If you’re looking for a easy-drinkin’ introduction to the peaty funkiness of scotch whisky, you could do worse than this. The original recipe first appears in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book; sadly, he leaves out the origin story.

Everyone has their own opinion on how much lemon and orgeat to add. It really comes down to your brand of orgeat and the sweetness of the lemons you’ve got. Start with our recipe, and increase or decrease the lemon and/or orgeat to suit your tastes next time you make it.

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

Far be it from us to denigrate this time-honored tradition – St. Pat himself knows we’ve had our fair share of neon-green cherries and enough Shamrock Shakes to last a lifetime. But if you’re looking to class up your celebration a bit this year, read on for a few our favorite St. Patrick’s Day cocktail recipes. Sláinte!
