Drink for St. Patrick's Day
1. Green Tea Shots
This is one of the ultimate drinks for St. Patrick's Day! Did you know that the Green Tea Shot doesn't actually contain any green tea? Despite its name, this popular cocktail is made from a combination of Jameson Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix (get this green tea shot drink here). The name "Green Tea Shot" likely comes from its greenish color, which is achieved through the peach schnapps and sour mix. It's a sweet and slightly tart shot that's become a favorite at many bars and parties, even though it has no actual green tea in it!
2. White Tea Shots
The White Tea Shot is a delightful and somewhat lesser-known member of the shot cocktail family. Unlike its more famous counterparts, this shot does not take its name from its ingredients but rather its smooth, clean, and subtly elegant flavor profile. It's a cocktail that combines a variety of spirits (like vodka) and mixers to create a taste experience that's both refreshing and sophisticated. Try my white tea shots recipe here!
3. Irish Coffee
As its name implies, Irish coffee is an alcoholic version of the classic beverage and you make it with whiskey, sugar, and cream. This variation on the traditional cup of joe will warm your guests up during your evening festivities. To make an Irish coffee, combine one part whiskey with one part hot coffee in a mug or glass. Add two teaspoons of brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Top off the drink with a dollop of thick cream floating on top and serve immediately. Your guests are sure to love this festive twist on their favorite morning pick-me-up!
4. Green Beer
Nothing says St. Patrick’s Day like drinking a cold green beer! This is one of the most common St. Patrick's day drinks and it is so easy to make. For a simple way to turn any beer into a festive treat, add two drops of green food coloring per pint glass before pouring in the beer of your choice. Then sit back and enjoy this classic take on celebrating St. Patrick's Day! Be warned though—it won't be quite as satisfying as Guinness but it's definitely easier and quicker to make when entertaining at home with friends (and less expensive too!).
5. The Shamrock Shake
Say hello to everyone’s favorite seasonal milkshake - The Shamrock Shake! This creamy concoction combines vanilla ice cream, mint extract and crème de menthe liqueur for a delicious adult twist on the classic fast food shake we all know and love. To make this easy drink for St. Patrick's day at home, blend together 2 cups vanilla ice cream, ¼ teaspoon mint extract, ½ cup cold milk and 2 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur in a blender until smooth and creamy. Serve in chilled glasses, garnish with mint sprigs and enjoy!
6. Jameson and Ginger Ale
If you're not in the mood for beer or a creamy cocktail, a Jameson and ginger ale is a great St. Patrick's Day drink option - as are a Jameson green tea shot and a Moscow mule drink. This refreshing drink has just enough kick to keep things interesting, without being too heavy. Simply mix one shot of Jameson Irish whiskey with ginger ale over ice, and garnish with a slice of lime.
7. Black Velvet
The Black Velvet is a unique and surprisingly delicious cocktail that mixes equal parts Guinness stout and sparkling wine. The deep, rich flavors of the stout combine with the light, bubbly texture of the wine to create a complex and satisfying beverage. To make a Black Velvet, simply pour half a glass of cold Guinness and top it off with your favorite sparkling wine.
8. Emerald Isle
The Emerald Isle cocktail is a sweet and fruity drink that's perfect for St. Patrick's Day. To make an Emerald Isle, blend together 1 ½ oz. Midori melon liqueur, ¾ oz. peach schnapps, and 2 oz. pineapple juice with ice. Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice, and garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple and a cherry.
9. Irish Car Bomb
This one is definitely not for the faint of heart! To make an Irish Car Bomb, fill a glass shot glass with with Bailey's Irish Cream and Jameson whiskey and drop it into a pint of Guinness. The whiskey and beer combination provides a boozy kick, while the Bailey's adds a creamy and sweet finish.
