DiningBuzz! - Green cocktails - St. Patty's Day!

Need some ideas for a green cocktail to make for a St. Patrick's Day party we're having. If you have a favorite, please let me know!

Thanks.

The Widow's Kiss is an obscure but phenomenal cocktail, though it might not be to everyone's taste:

An easier option might be Appletinis:

You could also make mojitos (or caiprinhas) and just add a tiny bit of green dye to deepen the colour.

I don't like the idea of using green dye, so if you want to color it green naturally, Ty Ku Liqueur, Midori, Sour Apple Pucker, Chartreuse, and Absinthe would make green drinks.

the best drinks to have on march 17 are either a screwdriver or a union jack.

A Midori Spritzer...

2/3 Prosecco, 1/3 (or even less, depends on your taste) Midori and some club soda on top.. Simple, refreshing and green.. ;-)

Grasshopper

3/4 oz green creme de menthe
3/4 oz white creme de cacao
3/4 oz light cream

Definitely a drink for the old timers ;)

Any drink with Midori can be improved by replacing the Midori with Ty Ku. I promise you it will taste better.

Quite right about that.:cool:

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up going with a Midori Mojito and they were a hit!

MIDORI 30ml(1oz)
White Rum 45ml(1 1/2oz)
Mint Leaves 8
Lime 1/2
Top with Club Soda / Soda Water

Mint Julep, Daiquiri, Rusty Mist.

How about just a plain old Guiness? It's not green but it's Irish... and it's full of iron too.

And Guiness fills you up like a meal, yet has less calories than almost any other beer. It's in a category of it's own.
