St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and you've gotta start your prep now. Sure, you can serve beer that you dye green, or some Guinness, or some Baileys on the rocks, but why not step your game up this year with a fancy green cocktail?
We've got ten amazing recipes for you to give a chance to this St. Paddy's Day. Every liquor under the sun is represented in the following list, so choose what works best for you and go with it!
1. The Green Boxer.
This triple-citrus tequila cocktail is extra green thanks to herbal Chartreuse and lime cordial.
This fizzy cocktail uses vodka, Sprite, lime juice, elderflower, and cucumber for a light, fresh drink.
3. The Irish Flag.
This patriotic shooter uses a layering technique to float creme de menthe, Licor 43, and Irish Cream to make the Irish Flag in a shot glass.
4. Shamrock Juice.
This crazy-potent green cocktail has gin, tequila, rum and vodka, plus blue curacao that mixes with orange juice to go as green as can be.
5. Baby Guinness Jell-O Shots.
These double-duty Jell-O shots are made with Guinness and Bailey's Irish Cream, and they look just like a tiny thimble full of Guinness, complete with the foam top.
These bright green floats are made with lemon-lime soda and lime sherbet, so they're perfect for those who don't want to drink anything boozy.
This light-green creation is the most elegant drink you'll find on St. Paddy's, that's for sure. It's gingery, light and delicious.
8. Lucky Leprechaun.
This tropical-tasting bright-green cocktail is made with pineapple juice, run, and Midori melon liqueur. It's sweet, so be sure to serve it over plenty of ice.
Made with white whiskey, Midori, ginger ale and sour mix, you can take it to the next level with frozen melon balls as ice cubes.
10. Green Bloody Mary.
This delicious savory cocktail is made with jalapeno-infused vodka, tomatillos and horseradish, so it's got plenty of kick. It's the perfect way to start your St. Paddy's day- or end it, the morning after.
