For this week's Friday Buzz we invite you to celebrate Irish Whiskey Day with a Pot of Gold cocktail. This is Jamie Behmer's twist on Milk & Honey's Gold Rush. The Pot of Gold is a magical mix of Irish Whiskey, honey syrup, lemon juice, and bitters. On top of that, it's finished with a pinch of edible gold dust, making it look like a cocktail straight out of the leprechaun's treasure chest!

Notes:

Elevated Options from Jamie:

Add a barspoon of Islay Scotch to the cocktail for a full peaty Celtic experience. Also, if you like a Whiskey Sour - add egg white to your Gold Rush to give it a wonderful foam that would look great with the edible gold dust on top.

For a more decorative presentation, you can cut the citrus wedge and then carefully fold back the peel to the center of the wedge. Make a few small cuts on the peel, fan it out, and keep it in place with a cocktail pick. Gently roll the lemon wedge in the edible gold dust.
