Blarney Stone Fizz

Tasting Notes

The Blarney Stone Fizz is a light, refreshing, and citrusy Irish whiskey cocktail with a smooth balance of sweet, tart, and bubbly elements. The Irish whiskey provides a mellow warmth, while fresh lime juice adds a bright tang, and simple syrup balances the flavors. Topped with club soda, this cocktail is crisp, effervescent, and perfect for easy sipping.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker for mixing, a strainer for a smooth pour, and a highball glass for serving. A jigger ensures precise measurements, and a bar spoon can help gently mix the soda without losing carbonation.

Ingredients

• 2 oz Irish whiskey
• 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
• 1/2 oz simple syrup
• 2 oz club soda
• A lime slice for garnish

Instructions

• Fill your shaker with ice.
• Pour in the Irish whiskey, lime juice, and simple syrup.
• Shake it well until it’s chilled.
• Strain the mixture into your highball glass filled with ice.
• Top it off with club soda.
• Garnish with a lime slice.

Pro Tips

• Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
• For extra fizz, pour the club soda down the side of the glass instead of directly into the drink.
• Try using honey syrup instead of simple syrup for a richer sweetness.
• For a herbal twist, muddle fresh mint before shaking.
• If you prefer a stronger drink, reduce the club soda to 1 oz.

When to Serve

The Blarney Stone Fizz is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, warm-weather sipping, brunch, or as a light, easy-drinking alternative to whiskey sours. It’s ideal for those who love whiskey but want something crisp and refreshing.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

For the best experience, use a smooth, slightly sweet Irish whiskey like Jameson, Bushmills, or Tullamore D.E.W.. A high-quality club soda like Fever-Tree or Q Mixers will enhance the fizz and flavor.
