Not a green beer person? Whiskey Limeade is the most refreshing cocktail recipe to whip up for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities! All you need are three simple ingredients: whiskey, limeade, and club or lemon-lime soda. This drink comes together in a matter of minutes–and looks great with your green St. Paddy’s Day looks.

Simply add ice to your glasses, then top with the whiskey, limeade, and soda of your choice. That’s all there is to this drink! Even though it’s incredibly simple to make, this St. Patrick’s Day cocktail is sure to be a crowd-pleaser–especially with that beautiful garnish of a fresh lime slice and a sprig of mint on top.

This drink is so versatile, too, because you can easily scale the recipe up or down. Make just 1-2 drinks, or double the recipe to make six!

If you want to get a little bit fancier with these drinks, try freezing limeade in your ice cube tray and use those in place of plain ice cubes. Limeade cubes are so fun, and your drink won’t get watered down! You can also use a shaker to mix things up if you prefer not to have ice in your cocktail.

Note: If you want to make this a mocktail, omit the whiskey and simply use limeade and lemon-lime soda. May the luck of the Irish be with you, and remember to sip responsibly this St. Patrick’s Day! Scroll on for the full recipe.
