March 16, 2015 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Let’s be real. For many, St. Patrick’s Day is an excuse to get together with friends and have a few drinks.

But, if you’re not craving those oddly-green beers served on this holiday, then here are some delicious St. Paddy’s Day cocktail recipes to insure you have a lucky day!

Emereld Isle
* 1 oz. gin
* 1 tsp. creme de menthe, green
* 2 dashes bitters

Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Irish Coffee
* 3 ounces of Irish whiskey
* 2 teaspoons of sugar
* 12 ounces of any strong coffee
* Whipped cream for garnish

Heat a goblet glass in boiling water. Dry the glass and pour in the whiskey and sugar.
Pour in the hot coffee and stir the drink to dissolve the sugar.
Top the coffee mixture with a generous dollop of whipped cream and serve.

St. Patrick’s Day Green Cocktail

Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the midori, sour mix, sprite, and stir.
