Exploring Irish Whiskey Through the Irish Maid

Irish whiskey is known for its smooth, light-bodied character, making it an ideal base for cocktails that highlight fresh and vibrant flavors. While many whiskey drinks lean into deeper, richer notes, the Irish Maid takes a different approach—combining cucumber, elderflower, and citrus for a cocktail that is crisp, floral, and endlessly refreshing.

A modern creation by renowned bartender Sam Ross, the Irish Maid is a refined take on the classic Whiskey Smash, using elderflower liqueur to add a delicate sweetness that enhances the smooth maltiness of Irish whiskey. It’s the perfect drink for those who enjoy a whiskey cocktail with a bright, fresh twist.
