How to make the cocktail Irish Maid

Irish Maid is a refreshing Irish whiskey cocktail that's perfect for anyone who thinks whiskey drinks are too strong or boring.

Created by Jack McGarry at The Dead Rabbit in New York as an Irish twist on the Kentucky Maid. This drink combines smooth Irish whiskey with elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and muddled cucumber for a surprisingly light and floral flavor.

The cucumber adds a crisp, garden-fresh taste while the elderflower gives it a delicate sweetness that makes this whiskey cocktail go down dangerously easy – it's become the go-to St. Patrick's Day drink for people who want something more elegant than green beer.
