Get your bitter on with this green Suze cocktail designed for St Patrick’s day fun. Bitter, sweet, and dry, it’s a curious but compelling cocktail I keep coming back to.
1ozIrish whisky(don't use the good stuff, the Suze can overpower it here)
1/2ozpineapple syrup
scant 1/4 oz blue curacao
Garnish: lemon twist or mint sprig
Instructions
Combine Suze, pineapple liqueur, Irish whisky, pineapple syrup, and blue curaçao to a mixing glass. Add ice and stir for about 30 seconds. Strain into a rocks glass with one large cube and garnish with a lemon twist or mint sprig.
Notes
Pineapple Syrup ** Cut up one small pineapple into small pieces and weigh. Weigh out the same amount of sugar and mix the two. Let sit out on a counter for 6-12 hours, or until the pineapple, syrup fills up the bottom of the mixing cup. Strain and store in the fridge. If you add a splash of vodka it will keep for 3-4 weeks. Save the sweetened pineapple chunks to top an ice cream sundae or pancakes.
