Because it’s St. Patrick’s Day!

Matcha-Gotcha is lightly-sweetened matcha iced tea with Jim Beam American Honey whiskey.   I mixed 1 part whisky to 2 parts tea, and I rimmed the glass with green sugar crystals.   If using regular whisky, I would add a spoonful of honey syrup–just dissolve a spoon of honey into hot water.

The drink in the middle is a cheater’s version of the mint julep.  We had some mint julep syrup in the refrigerator, so Husband mixed that with some Maker’s Mark bourbon and popped it into an ice-filled green metal glass.

And finally, Son chose to have a Guinness, in memory of a St. Patrick’s Day that he celebrated in Dublin, Ireland.

And may the strength of three be in your journey. Sláinte’.
