St. Patrick's Day Cocktails!

Whoo Hoo! St. Patrick's Day is this Saturday and I'm sure most of you are starting to gear up for a full weekend of debauchery by pulling out every piece of green clothing you own and loading up on Guinness.
While beer is probably the most consumed beverage on St. Patrick's Day, it is important to think about those who aren't particularly fond of beer, so I found some alternative cocktails!


The first is the Bushmills Irish Buck, a.k.a The Frozen Leprechaun, and it's super easy!
All you need is...
1.5 oz (a shot) of Bushmills Irish Whiskey
.25 oz Fresh lime juice
2 oz Ginger Ale
1 Lime wedge to garnish
Mix all of the ingredients together and sip away! 


The second cocktail is actually a punch that is perfect if you are having a St. Patty's Day party
St. Patrick's Day Party Punch
All you need is...
2 Cans Minute Maid frozen limeade concentrate
2 Cans Minute Maid frozen lemonade concentrate
2 Liters of Diet Sierra Mist
1 Liter of rum
2 quarts lime sherbet


Add all of the ingredients to a large punch bowl and stir until everything is mixed thoroughly.
Serve to your guests and enjoy!


I hope everyone has a fabulous St. Patrick's Day and gives these cocktails a try! 
I will leave you with a little Irish quote...
"St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic"- Adrienne Cook
