SHAMROCK SPRITZ
Written by Just Water
Whether you’re chasing a pot of gold or just a really great happy hour, this St. Patrick’s Day, forget the heavy beers and their artificial dyes; we’re going green the sophisticated way. Meet the Shamrock Spritz: a crisp, botanical bevvy that gets its brilliant emerald hue from a clever mix of citrus and elderflower. Topped with the zesty effervescence of Lime Bubbles, it’s a light, refreshing, and naturally polished way to toast to your own good luck.
Ready to shamrock-shake up something legendary? Here is how to make it.
What You’ll Need:- 2 oz Premium Gin or Vodka (or Seedlip Garden 108 for a mocktail)
- 1/2 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz Elderflower liqueur (for a floral sweetness)
- 1/4 oz Blue Curaçao (when mixed with the yellow tones of lime/elderflower, this creates a brilliant emerald green)
- Top with: JUST Water Lime Bubbles sparkling water
- Garnish: A fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel
What You’ll Do:
- Chill your glass: Fill a wine glass or large coupe with ice to get it nice and cold.
- Combine: In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine the gin/vodka, lime juice, elderflower liqueur, and Blue Curaçao.
- Shake: Shake well for about 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
- Strain: Strain the mixture into your chilled glass over fresh ice.
- Top & Sparkle: Top the glass with JUST Water Lime Bubbles. Give it a very gentle stir to incorporate the color.
- Garnish: Slap a mint sprig against your hand to release the oils, tuck it in the side, and add your lime wheel.
