Jameson Mai Tai
While green beer and Irish stouts are St. Patrick’s Day staples, why not mix things up with a tropical twist?
Enter the Jameson Mai Tai, a bold yet balanced cocktail that blends the smooth, triple-distilled taste of Jameson Irish Whiskey with the bright citrus of lime and dry curaçao, finished with the nutty sweetness of almond orgeat. The result is a refreshing, whiskey-forward take on the beloved tiki classic.
Chicago’s Three Dots and a Dash will be serving the Jameson Mai Tai all St. Patrick’s Day weekend, but if you’d rather shake one up yourself, check out the full recipe below!

Preparation
Combine Jameson, dry curacao, and almond orgeat in a shaker with 16 oz. crushed ice.
Whip shake (shake until ice is gone and mixture is slightly frothy).
Strain into a double rocks glass and add crushed ice until the drink fills the glass.
Swizzle the cocktail until it’s homogeneous (becomes opaque).
Garnish with a bouquet of mint, spent lime hull (rind up) and edible orchid (optional).
