Irish CourageCocktail recipe
Rating
If you mix this drink right it'll be pretty much black with a blue/colourless layer on top. Take it in one go - it helps if you’re Irish, preferably Republic (of course), because it’s pretty strong, but I'll respect anyone who likes it.
Give it a good rating, you know you want to.

FAQ's
How does the alcohol content of Irish Courage compare to other shots?
The alcohol content of Irish Courage is 29.17%, which is slightly higher than the average for shot drinks, which typically range from 25% to 30% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes Irish Courage a strong option for those looking for a potent shot.
What is the best way to serve Irish Courage?
Irish Courage is best served cold in a shot glass. Given its alcohol content and combination of flavors, chilling the cocktail before serving can enhance its taste and make it more enjoyable.
Can I substitute any ingredients in Irish Courage if I don't have them?
Yes, substitutions can be made while still capturing the essence of the cocktail. For example, if you don't have Blue Curaçao, you can substitute it with another orange-flavored liqueur, though the color might change. Similarly, if whiskey is unavailable, another type of dark spirit could serve as a substitute, though the flavor profile will slightly alter.
What occasions are most suitable for serving Irish Courage?
Irish Courage, with its strong alcohol content and bold flavor, is well-suited for celebratory occasions or as a novelty shot at parties. Its name and potency make it ideal for St. Patrick's Day celebrations or any event where a bold and memorable drink is desired.
How can I customize Irish Courage to better suit my taste?
To customize Irish Courage, consider adjusting the proportions of its ingredients to suit your taste preference. For a sweeter drink, increase the amount of grenadine; for a stronger citrus flavor, add more Blue Curaçao. You can also experiment with garnishing the shot to add an extra element of flavor or presentation, such as a lime wheel or a cherry.
