On St. Patrick’s Day many people like to gather in crowds at local bars to drink green beers while wearing “humorous” leprechaun hats or some other kind of festive green regalia. Because of my general distaste for bars, beer and other people, I’m not one of those merrymakers, though I do enjoy a good holiday themed accessory (especially a sequined bow tie). I’m more likely to celebrate by wearing green, rocking my leprechaun socks and actively avoiding public spaces filled with drunkies.
I’m still fun (I promise!) so for me it’s all about mixing fun cocktails at home with one or more friends (anything more than yourself counts as being social) so in honor of a holiday which encourages the use of my favorite color, I offer you these simple and fun cocktail recipes. These classic and modern 'tails are easy to make, require only a few ingredients and are TASTY, which is the only way I do it.
