Irish Maid Cocktail

Irish Maid

The Irish Maid Cocktail is a variation of the Kentucky Maid, which Sam Ross created while he was at Milk & Honey in New York. This variation is a combination of a sour and a smash. The Cucumber gives each sip a palate cleansing making you ready for the next drink. I suggest using a higher-proof (ABV) Irish whiskey to balance the flavors. Try it out and let us know what you think.
