Eventually you'll be soaked in green beer but at least you can start the party off with a little class :)

Baby Guinness

MAKES 1

INGREDIENTS
2½ oz Kahlua coffee liqueur
½ oz Bailey's Irish cream

PREPARATION
Pour Kahlua, almost filling shot glass. Then, carefully and slowly pour Baileys over the back of a spoon. This will give the "Guinness" it's "head."

The Mossy

MAKES 1

INGREDIENTS
½ oz clove syrup (recipe below)
2½ oz Guinness Stout
1 oz Irish peated single-malt whiskey such as Connemara

PREPARATION
Make the clove syrup by dissolving 1 cup of sugar with one cup of water with 15 whole cloves over high heat. Allow to cool completely.

Pour ½ oz of clove syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. (In the photos in the post we used a jam jar instead of a cocktail shaker.) Add Guinness and whiskey to shaker. Shake for 10 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail, coupe, or martini glass.

2 oz Irish whiskey
1 oz Cream Sherry
1 dropper of Bittercube Orange Bitters

Combine all three ingredients in a cocktail mixing glass with ice. Stir for 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail, coupe, or martini glass.
