04:12.724 --> 04:15.025 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you're smart enough to figure that out. 04:15.585 --> 04:19.006 [SPEAKER_00]: Garnish it, admire it, then drink it. 04:19.546 --> 04:25.768 [SPEAKER_00]: You'll find it smooth and citrusy and a little herbal if you went the Crem Dementh route I recommended. 04:26.089 --> 04:29.370 [SPEAKER_00]: This drink just hits all the right notes. 04:31.349 --> 04:32.410 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, here's a fun fact. 04:32.930 --> 04:39.954 [SPEAKER_00]: Shamrock comes from the Irish Shamroog, meaning little clover, used by St. 04:40.014 --> 04:45.517 [SPEAKER_00]: Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity, which I now interpret to mean whiskey, lemon and sugar. 04:45.877 --> 04:46.957 [SPEAKER_00]: Another fun fact, St. 04:46.998 --> 04:48.438 [SPEAKER_00]: Patrick wasn't even Irish. 04:49.039 --> 04:50.119 [SPEAKER_00]: It was British. 04:50.499 --> 04:53.361 [SPEAKER_00]: It was kidnapped and enslaved and brought to Ireland. 04:53.881 --> 04:56.643 [SPEAKER_00]: And then hundreds of years later, the Irish made a mistake. 04:57.476 --> 04:59.236 [SPEAKER_00]: Which is a pretty solid apology? 04:59.836 --> 05:00.697 [SPEAKER_00]: All things considered? 05:01.317 --> 05:09.398 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, of course, wouldn't be a proper episode of three-minute bartender without a few terrible but lovable jokes to send you off on your way. 05:09.778 --> 05:10.138 [SPEAKER_00]: No! 05:10.338 --> 05:11.579 [SPEAKER_00]: God, please, no! 05:11.899 --> 05:12.299 [SPEAKER_00]: No! 05:13.119 --> 05:13.559 [SPEAKER_00]: No! 05:14.099 --> 05:17.100 [SPEAKER_00]: What's Irish and sits outside all day and night?

05:44.975 --> 05:47.336 [SPEAKER_00]: Because only a few of them could pass the bar. 05:49.732 --> 05:49.992 [SPEAKER_00]: get it. 05:50.993 --> 05:52.014 [SPEAKER_00]: They got to go into the bar. 05:52.514 --> 05:52.734 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 05:53.154 --> 05:53.375 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 05:53.675 --> 05:53.975 [SPEAKER_00]: All right. 05:54.635 --> 05:59.319 [SPEAKER_00]: I invite you to follow me on the Instagram at the imbiber. 05:59.419 --> 06:02.281 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm also on blue sky at the imbiber. 06:02.721 --> 06:04.743 [SPEAKER_00]: The podcast has its own Instagram account. 06:04.763 --> 06:08.966 [SPEAKER_00]: It's called WWD underscore podcast. 06:09.446 --> 06:12.148 [SPEAKER_00]: And until next time, top of the morning to you.
