Ingredients: - 1 pint of Guinness Stout - 1 oz of Irish whiskey - 1/2 oz of crème de menthe (green) - 1/2 oz of heavy cream - 2 tsp of brown sugar - Fresh mint leaves for garnish Instructions: 1. Begin by pouring the Guinness into a chilled pint glass, filling it about three-quarters full. Allow the foam to settle. 2. In a mixing glass, combine the Irish whiskey, crème de menthe, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. 3. Carefully float the whiskey mixture on top of the Guinness by pouring it over the back of a spoon. This should create a distinct layer on top of the beer. 4. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Glass: - Serve in a traditional pint glass to maintain the integrity of the Guinness while presenting the beautiful layering effect created by the whiskey mixture. The Emerald Eclipse offers a creamy, minty experience that transitions into the robust, malty flavors of Guinness, making it a delightful drink for celebrations or as a novel dessert cocktail.
