St. Patrick's Day is widely acknowledged as an incredibly lively and boisterous holiday, mainly due to its mode of celebration: indulging in plenty of Irish beer and cocktails. If you're planning to host your own St. Patty's Day celebration vs. getting rowdy with the crowd at your local pub, here's a quick guide to some fun and festive beverages you can enjoy at home: First up: Beer!
Classic Favorite: Traditional Irish Coffee Ingredients: 1 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey 6 oz. hot coffee 1 tsp. brown sugar Heavy cream Directions: Combine the whiskey, coffee, and sugar in a mug and stir. Float cold cream gently on top. Last but Not Least: Green Sodas and Bottled Drinks Green sodas and beverages with contemporary green packaging are a super-easy way to create a hip drink display, as well as offer great alternatives for guests who prefer non-alcoholic options. Some of my personal favorites: Green Apple Jones Soda, Sparkling Pear IZZE, and Rescue (Green Tea-flavored) Vitamin Water. Have a favorite Irish-themed drink that you don't see here? Share it with us -- we'd love to hear about your own favorite cocktail recipes and green drinks!
Posted by: Kelly| March 11, 2008 at 10:33 AM I'm not a big beer drinker myself, but I definitely wouldn't turn away an Irish Coffee! And don't forget tea! The Irish drink the most tea per capita than any other country in the world. And with some of us thinking about our health even on festive days, one can celebrate with green tea. Just don't over-brew it, as so many of us do. It can't take boiling water, just steaming, or it will taste like overcooked veggies. And find a good green leaf, not the dust and fannings of many grocery store tea bags. All of them look fabulous! I made irish chocolate cupcakes with irish creme and grand marnier liquors and topped them with orange creme sauce! So i guess I'm all set for St.Paddy's day:) Be careful with the green beer as the evening progresses. The food coloring can make a real mess!
