Our Chilled 100 National Director Wendy Hodges creates two lucky St. Patrick’s Day cocktails using Mozart Chocolate Liqueurs.
Give them a mix!
Introducing the Shamrock Cream Fizz, a spirited twist on the classic New York Egg Cream, perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day! Despite its name, this cocktail contains no eggs but brings a delightful blend of chocolate and Irish flavors to your glass.
The Shamrock Cream Fizz combines the rich decadence of Mozart Chocolate Cream Liqueur with the smooth warmth of Clonakilty Irish Whiskey. A splash of heavy cream—or vegan whipping cream and Dark Chocolate Mozart for those avoiding dairy—adds a creamy texture that pairs beautifully with the effervescence of seltzer. This festive drink is not only a nod to the timeless soda fountain favorite but also a celebration of Irish charm.
Whether you’re toasting to good luck or simply enjoying a taste of nostalgia, the Shamrock Cream Fizz is sure to bring a touch of joy to your festivities. Garnish with a whimsical rice paper shamrock or a sprinkle of shaved chocolate for an extra hint of indulgence.
