Place your glass in the freezer or fill it with ice to chill.
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Irish whiskey, 1 oz fresh lime juice, ¾ oz simple syrup, and 1 egg white.
Shake the mixture (without ice) for about 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
Strain the mixture into your chilled glass, making sure to hold back the ice.
Add a lime wedge or green maraschino cherry for a festive touch.
Sip and celebrate the luck of the Irish!
