This drink, The Irish Angel, is a tribute to the legendary Ellen “Ellie” Cashman. She was an Irish immigrant and made her presence felt all over America and the Canadian West. She had all sorts of jobs including a nurse, a gold prospector, and a bar and restaurant owner. Nicknamed “The Angel of the Cassiar” because of her heroic efforts in organizing and leading a rescue party for a group of people that were starving in the Cassiar Mountains.
This is the perfect St. Patrick’s Day cocktail. Light and refreshing to keep you going all day! Just be sure to pour some out for our girl “Ellie” throughout the day! Cheers!
