How about a few cocktail ideas too?

The most common adult beverage of choice on March 17th seems to be beer. Now, whether that's a true Irish pint of Guinness, or a green-dyed light lager, that's up to you.

If you're not feeling the suds, here's a few cocktails to whip your shamrocks into a frenzy.

Irish Gold
Who says a St. Paddy's Day drink needs to be green? This golden cup starts with Irish whiskey, and adds flavors of orange, peach and ginger! Get the recipe HERE.

Drunken Shamrock Shake
This one gets my vote. It's a boozy version of the fast-food favorite everyone flocks to this time of year. Creamy, ever-so-slightly minty, and enough of a kick to get your Irish eyes smiling. Recipe HERE.

Green Lightning
For those who want a green drink that's still fruity and flavorful...mix yourself a glass of Green Lightning! 1.5 oz vodka, 3 oz. fresh lemonade, and .5 oz melon liqueur (like Midori). It's festive looking, and it tastes good!

Vanilla Almond Irish Soda
