I’ve always been a huge fan of the traditional Irish breakfast, with bacon, eggs – the works!

That’s why when I discovered the Irish Breakfast shot I knew this was going to be on my St. Patrick’s Day cocktail menu. 

The nice thing about this shot is that it only takes a few ingredients plus you might have some bacon leftover which is always a welcome treat.
