Notes

For a Pitcher of Martinis: Multiply the recipe by 4 and stir into a pitcher. Chill and stir again before serving.

Best Irish Whiskey: We used Bushmill's, Jameson is also quite popular.

Dry Vermouth: An essential ingredient for making martinis. Vermouth is wine fortified with herbs and spices. Keep refrigerated after opening.

Creme de Menthe: Mint flavor liqueur that can be green in color or clear, great for celebrations like St. Patrick's Day.

Simple Syrup: Mix 1/4 cup boiling water with 1/4 cup sugar, stir until dissolved. Chill before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
