St Patrick's day cocktail: Irish goodbye

The combination of the nation’s stout and creme de cassis makes for a fancier Guinness and black, taken up a notch further with whiskey

Serves 1

An ode to the craftsmanship of the Emerald Isle, and a play on that old pub favourite, Guinness and black. The weight of the whiskey is alleviated by the fruity cassis; throw the velvety mouthfeel of Guinness into the mix, and this makes a perfect St Patrick’s Day aperitif.

20ml Irish whiskey (I use Slane)
10ml crème de cassis
10ml lemon juice
75ml Guinness

Pour everything into a cocktail shaker, load it up with ice and shake hard. Double-strain into a martini coupe and serve.
