Irish Gold Cocktail
An easy Irish Whiskey cocktail that also adds Peach Schnapps, Orange Juice, and Ginger Ale, this drink is still pretty Whiskey forward and has some booze to it so it's lots of fun. The combination of ingredients also gives this cocktail a great golden colour (hence the name), so it's wonderful to look at.Keep in mind as well that you can add the Ginger Ale "to taste" so if you want it to taste a bit more like Whiskey, all you need to do is add a little less Ginger Ale. Alternatively, if you want a slightly weaker drink, just add more Ginger Ale. That's what's fun about long cocktails like this. Enjoy them the way you like.

Notes
Although Irish themed things are more often associated with the colour green, keep in mind that leprechauns also have a pot of gold with them! Garnished with a bit of (green) lime, this is actual a very Irish cocktail indeed. Try whipping some of these up at your next St. Patrick's Day gathering.
