Had this today before dinner. This is perfect. Great balance and really like the use of the Irish Whiskey. I used Bushmills Original.

I enjoyed a Dublin Minstrel on St Patrick's Day. Well balanced and delicious. Well, constructed, Difford's!

Made this for Saint Patrick's Day with Jameson as the whiskey and was very pleased not only with the fresh, springlike flavours but the lovely pale green colour of the drink.
Initially, I held back a bit on the Maraschino, as I find this can sometimes overpower a drink, but, after tasting the cocktail before shaking, I added the rest in as it really does need that much to help temper the lime juice and add floral character. Overall, I found this a lovely, really well-balanced drink.

Necessity being the mother of invention, not having Irish whiskey, I used a single Highland malt. I call it Facal Eile, which is Scots Gaelic for Another Word
