Uh-oh. Designated as your friends’ own personal bartender but have no idea what to make? Well, St.Patty’s Day themed drinks are hard to mess up and as long as you’ve got the signature green color down, everyone will be impressed. Whether you’re looking for an easy shamrock cocktail or something more mature, here are 5 drink ideas to prepare for your St. Patty’s Day celebrations!
Classic Shamrock Punch
Who doesn’t enjoy some kind of shamrock treat for March? This punchy cocktail has green written all over it and is perfect for any lime-loving friends of yours. You can adjust the sweetness to your personal taste and make it as green as you want with food coloring!
Sparkling Green Sangria
For a more refreshing take, this sangria is perfect for a lighter drink that satisfies anyone with an infinity for fizz and carbonation. No food dye required for this cocktail either— the pretty green color comes naturally from the different fruits in the recipe like apples and grapes!
Green Margarita
The classic margaritas you love but make them… Irish! For the friends who refuse to give up their love for margaritas even for St. Patty’s Day, now they don’t have to. This drink still has all the flavors they love but with a fun, colorful twist so they can still celebrate the holiday with a themed drink.
The Irish Maid
It’s not what it sounds like… Any whiskey lover at the party will be happy if you have this one prepared for them! It’s more of an acquired taste with elderflower liqueur and more alcohol-forward, but still appropriately themed for St. Patrick’s.
Leprechaun Mimosa
There has to be at least one mention of a leprechaun for St. Patty’s Day… If you and your friends are looking to pregame early, this cocktail is even better! All you need are the mimosa staples, orange juice and champagne, with a splash of blue curacao to get a super festive color!
As the new self-proclaimed bartender of the group, have fun with the recipes and good luck!
