While St. Patrick’s Day is described as the official holiday to celebrate the life of an Irish patron saint, most use it as another great excuse to bar hop and day drink. Recognized every March 17, the holiday is one of the most widely known as a day of drinking, honoring the Irish culture of whiskey and beer. Technically, Saint Patrick was believed to be the individual who brought Christianity to Ireland but the tradition remains to eat, drink, and be ‘oh so merry on the anniversary day of his passing.
With that being said, if you’re looking to chill indoors and have a more quaint social gathering, you may be looking for exciting themed recipes to try. If you’ve got the whole gang coming over and need to be more creative with the libations, or trying to impress rambunctious patrons at your bar, we’ve got the perfect solution. This list of curated cocktails is great for adding a little luck to your St. Patty’s Day menu. Not a fan of whiskey? We’ve listed drinks inspired by different spirits and flavors including Bailey’s, Schnapp’s, Hot Chocolate, and even pickle juice.
