What is Irish Flag?
The Irish Flag shot is one of those instantly recognizable layered shooters that feels festive before you even take the sip. With its clean green, white, and orange layers, this shot mirrors the Irish flag perfectly and tends to steal the spotlight at St. Patrick’s Day parties, pub crawls, or honestly any night that needs a little Irish flair. It looks impressive, yet it’s surprisingly easy to make, which is always a win behind the bar.
Flavor-wise, it’s smoother than you might expect. The herbal sweetness of crème de menthe blends gently into the creamy middle layer, finishing with a bright citrus kick. It’s balanced, playful, and dangerously drinkable. If you enjoy visually striking shots like the B-52, you’ll probably appreciate how the Irish Flag delivers both style and taste. For more layered shooters, check out the B-52 Shot for another classic worth mastering.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
