Festive St. Patrick’s Day Drinks
It's St. Patrick's day and whether you have any Irish heritage or not, many people like to use March 17 as a chance to enjoy green beverages. Here are some fun and festive drink ideas!
I haven't personally tried all of these, but I put a call out for festive drinks and these recipes were among the ideas I received.
- Baby Guinness: Despite the name, this drink doesn't involve any beer, but instead, looks like a mini beer. In a shot glass, fill until 2/3 of the way full with Kahlua and then top off with a splash of Baileys.
- Shamrock Juice: 3 ounces of vodka, 1/2 ounce of Midori, 1/2 ounce of triple sec, shake and pour into a martini glass.
- Grasshopper: Combine 3/4 ounce of creme de menth, creme de cacao and light cream. Shake and pour into glass.
- Pillow Mint: Over ice pour 2 ounces Irish whiskey, a splash of peppermint schnapps and two splashes of Kahlua.
- Honeydew Martini: Combine 1/2 an ounce of gin, tequila, light rum, and vodka with 1 ounce Blue Curacao and 4 ounces of orange juice.
- For a green beer, add about three drops of green food coloring to your beer of choice, or you could try adding Midori or Blue Curacao.
- If you prefer something non-alcoholic, try making making a minty shake by mixing ice cream, peppermint extract and a dash of green food coloring for a festive treat.
