Ingredients
1 ounce Irish whiskey
½ ounce Fresh lemon juice
½ ounce Simple syrup
2 ounces Sparkling wine
Lemon peel
Directions
Pour the Irish whiskey into a chilled champagne flute or cocktail glass.
Add the fresh lemon juice and simple syrup to the glass, stirring gently to combine.
Top with sparkling wine, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles and create a light, layered effect.
Express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink by twisting it over the surface, then place it in the glass as garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Irish 75.
Comments
This is a cocktail, not a meal, but it scores well on the criteria that matter for a drink: the ingredients are entirely available at any Charlotte grocery chain, with whiskey and sparkling wine at Walmart or Food Lion for under $30 combined, and lemon, simple syrup (or sugar to make it) costing pennies. The stated time is honest—five minutes is real. The only meaningful drawback is that it's a single cocktail with no leftovers and no household application unless you're making rounds for guests, which limits its relevance to a meal-planning service.
