Green Drinks

Whether you’re channeling your inner-Irish, saving the planet, or just plain envious, there are plenty of green cocktails to choose from. St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and we’re here to help you serve up some seriously green drinks. After all, drinking is an essential part of St. Patty’s Day.

Let’s start out simple.

Perhaps the easiest, yet most Irish, green drink of all time is

The Green Beer.

It takes just two ingredients to create this drink, a cold beer and green food coloring. Make it a tall glass to properly complete the festive take on a classic draft. (Works best with light beer, not so much with stouts).

Now to get a little more intricate…

Mojito Slushie.

• mint leaves (6)
• rum (2 oz.)
• simple syrup
• (1 oz.)
• lime juice (1 oz.)
• ice

Blend it all together and pulse until smooth. Make it instagram-worthy by garnishing with a mint sprig and lime wedge.

Prefer something a little Fancier?

Caramel Apple Martini

• Vanilla vodka (1 oz.)
• Sour apple pucker (1 oz.)
• Butterscotch schnapps (1 oz.)
• Sour apple
• ice

Rim the glass with caramel to satisfy your sweet tooth! (optional)

If you’re ready to get straight to business…take a shot.

Green Gummy Bear Shot

The classic white gummy bear shot just got cooler.

• Vodka
• Melon liqueur
• Lemon lime soda

Be careful though! These shots are known to be dangerous. They’re super sweet and easy to take.

And for those non-alcohol drinkers (or for the morning after for those that do…)

Detox Green Juice

Add to a juicer or a blender:

• 3 green apples
• Fresh kale (7 oz.)
• ½ of an english cucumber
• fresh spinach (1 cup)
• ½ of a lemon, juice only

Just blend it all together and you’re one step closer to cleansing your body and boosting your immune system.
