Cocktail Recipe: Proud Patrick

With St Patrick’s day fast approaching, I have a good excuse to come up with a new cocktail recipe. That’s the one thing I miss about not working in a pub anymore, so it’s always nice to have a chance to design a new cocktail.

This one is called a Proud Patrick and it’s a tangy mix of citrus and anise flavours. It’s pretty potent, so drink responsibly and all that jazz.

What You Will Need

• 50ml Blue Curacao
• 25ml Sambuca
• 25ml Tropical Sourz
• 125ml fresh orange juice
• 150ml lemonade
• An orange and a star anise to decorate

What To Do:

• Chill all of the drinks
• Add the Blue Curacao, Sourz and Sambuca to a glass (one a little bigger than a half pint glass)
• Add the orange juice and stir gently until the green colour is even
• Add the lemonade
• Cut a two inch piece of skin from the orange and scrape away all the white stuff (pith?)
• Pull the knife fast along the back of the peel, holding it tightly against your thumb to create pressure.
• Add the peel twist to the side of the glass and float a star anise on the surface of the drink.

Enjoy!

For a slightly less potent version, make the mixture of the alcohol and the orange juice and then pour into two serving glasses and top up with extra lemonade.
