Erín go Brách! Have you made any St. Patrick's Day plans yet? If you're in or heading through wine country today, stop by the Carlton Post for the Carlton Crawl. They like to start the St. Paddy's festivities early over there. At the Post, we'll be offering buy-one-get-one tasting flights, 30% off cocktail mixers, and a "Once Upon a Bull Run" cocktail! We didn't want Carlton to hog all the fun, so our Portland tasting room will also be offering the same specials on tasting flights and cocktail mixers today and tomorrow. Just in time for you to stock up for your own celebrations too! Maybe you want to throw back some Shamrock Shooters? Find the recipe below. Whatever you end up doing, if it includes imbibing, please do so responsibly. Sláinte!
Shamrock Shooters
What You Need
1 cup of Bull Run Single Malt
1 cup heavy cream or half & half
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons of matcha powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 package of small chocolate cordial cups
edible gold glitter spray
Directions
Combine heavy cream, condensed milk, matcha powder, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.
Slowly add in Bull Run Single Malt and continue whisking until well blended.
Begin prepping your chocolate cordial cups with edible glitter spray as your matcha Irish cream settles. (We’ve found the mixture to be the strongest right after being blended, and the flavor begins to soften out as it settles with time.)
Portion out the mixture into the chocolate cordial cups. This batch filled 8 small cups with plenty left over. It would make a great splash for your coffee or dessert!
