Drinky Drink: St. Patrick's Day Edition

For those of you who might be thirsty this St. Patrick’s Day and want something with a little more kick than a Shamrock Shake, FM presents three essential cocktails for the occasion:

1.  The Irish Coffee

Directions:

St. Patrick’s Day is a marathon, not a sprint, and this suggestion is subtle enough not to draw dirty looks at breakfast. It’s the best part of waking up!

2 1/2 oz strong, hot coffee

1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey

1 tsp sugar

1 oz whipping cream

2.  The Green Monster

Directions:

Drink up, whether you’re going to be surrounded by people who still think St. Patrick’s Day is all about the color green or you want a beverage that’s sure to draw a curious glance.

1 ½ oz Blue Curaçao

Stir and fill with orange juice until you like the shade of green

3.  The Irish Car Bomb

Directions:

This one will leave you wondering what the hell happened last night (since that’s what St. Patrick’s Day is really about).

12 oz Guinness stout

1/2 shot Bailey’s Irish cream

1/2 shot Jameson Irish whiskey
