St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching. If you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate the green occasion at home, and you’re up for trying a new recipe, you’re in luck — the luck of the Irish, that is. Sip on “The Cornelius,” a custom cocktail brought to us by Sean Moriarty and Gavin Smith, bartenders at Edgartown’s Rockfish, and named after Sean’s grandfather.

1 lemon wedge
2-3 mint leaves

1½ oz of Paddy Irish whiskey
