If you’re looking for a deliciously refreshing drink that brings a taste of Ireland with a fun twist, the Irish Redhead Cocktail is the perfect choice. This vibrant cocktail blends the smoothness of Irish whiskey with the tartness of citrus juices and the fizz of lemon-lime soda, creating a beautifully balanced drink that’s easy to make and even easier to enjoy
Equipment
- Jigger
- 12-Ounce or Larger Cocktail Glass
- Cocktail Spoon
Ingredients
- 5 Ounces Lemon Lime Soda
- 3 Ounces Irish Whiskey
- 1 Ounce Grenadine
- ½ Ounce Lime Juice
- ½ Ounce Lemon Juice
- Ice optional
- Lime Slices optional garnish
- Maraschino Cherries (optional garnish
Instructions
- Combine the lemon juice and lime juice in a jigger and add it to a cocktail glass without ice.
- Add the grenadine and Irish whiskey to the glass. Stir lightly with a cocktail spoon.
- Pour the lemon lime soda over the top of the cocktail.
- Top with ice, a cherry, and a lime slice, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- I do not recommend making this cocktail ahead of time or storing it as the soda will go flat.
- You can use lemon slices, blood orange slices, and mint sprigs as other optional garnishes.
- Do not use a shaker with the soda or it will cause it to be flat.
- Do not stir the drink after the soda is added, or it will flatten it.
