St. Patrick’s Day; a day for everyone to celebrate being Irish (even if they’re not) and attend many various parades and bars. Whether you are celebrating your heritage, or just up for an all-day party, here are some festive drinks you should try this St. Paddy’s Day (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic recipes included).
1. Green Beer
I mean drinking festive green beer is practically a given, right? All you have to do is add a few drops of food coloring and you’re good to go.
2. Honeydew Martini
A beautiful green drink that includes vodka, Midori and triple sec.
3. Irish Coffee
A delicious blend of coffee and Irish whiskey that will leave you wanting more (and maybe the jitters).
4. Irish Car Bomb
A magical mix of Bailey’s and Jameson’s dropped into a glass of Guinness. You’ll feel Irish while drinking this mix, but it is definitely not for the light-hearted.
5. St. Patrick’s Day Punch (non-alcoholic)
This non-alcoholic punch is made with sherbet, pineapple juice and ginger ale. For those who can’t drink yet or don’t drink, this is a delicious option.
6. Homemade Shamrock Shake
With this recipe, you can make a minty, green and creamy version of the McDonald’s classic. Oh and don’t worry, there’s a boozy version, too.
7. Skittles Vodka
By infusing vodka with Skittles (only the green ones of course), you get a blend of the flavor of the skittles with the flavor of the vodka. This recipe takes almost 24 hours to make so you’ll want to make this drink the day before your celebration. If you’re in a hurry, Bro Bible says they can show you a way to make it in less than an hour.
8. Leprechaun Irish Whiskey Cocktail
This is the Irish version of the gin and tonic. Choose your favorite Irish whiskey and combine with tonic water and garnish with a lime to add a touch of green to your drink.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, collegiettes! Drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
