NJ St. Patrick’s Day Party Cocktails
When it comes to celebrating St. Patrick's Day, Jersey knows how to do it...we have weeks worth of parades and parties!
How about a few cocktail ideas too?
The most common adult bev 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.

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!

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.

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!
