20 St. Patrick’s Day Drinks And Green Cocktails
St. Patrick's Day Drink Ideas
This easy-to-make drink only takes six ingredients and it contains only 3.5 oz of actual alcohol. You will need a shaker to mix this one. Makes for a great presentation for parties.
This festively green St. Patrick’s Day drink features vanilla-flavored vodka, lemon-lime soda, and food coloring! (Plus there are only 1-2 shots of vodka so great for smaller parties or people that don’t like heavy alcohol in their drinks.)
This Bailey’s Iced Coffee has a twist featuring Vietnamese Coffee Cocktails. If you like coffee you’re going to love this St. Patrick’s Day twist (you can actually have this year-round too).
This is a perfect St. Patrick’s Day drink for looks. It contains three alcohols (Midori, Snapps, and Vodka for a total of 2.5oz of alcohol in each serving). You also add pineapple juice to the mix for an added touch of sweetness. Top it with festive rainbow fruits/candy for an added touch!
If you love Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, you’re sure to fall in love with this Thin Mint cocktail! You will need 5 ingredients to make this delicious treat! (Not counting your cocktail shaker). You can make these year-round and don’t have to wait for cookie season!
A cute smaller way to have some festive drinks with these itty bitty shamrock shots! These little guys only require 3/4 cup of entire alcohol to make 12 complete St. Patrick’s Day drink pudding shots!!
Everyone loves a good brunch Mimosas right? These “spicey” mimosas with a St. Patrick’s Day twist contain vodka, champagne, and blue curacao combine to create an electric shock to the tastebuds for sure!
Take to the next level with these adorable jello shots in mini copper mug shot cups! Combine your favorite ginger beer with vodka to create these easy-to toast shots!
Add a little luck of the leprechaun with these green shots! While they may not look it, these tony shots are packed full of a fruity punch that you can serve for St. Patrick’s Day and year-round!
Jameson is always linked with St. Patrick’s Day, so keep it classic this year and make these Irish Lemonades! These are super easy to make with just two different steps!
Add another fruity and GREEN drink to your St. Patrick’s Day drink menu with these island drinks! While you may have heard of the Blue Hawaiian drink, the green version is a little bit less sweet than its fruity sister but still delicious.
If you need a quick drink for your St. Patrick’s Day parties then these martinis are the perfect addition. Just four ingredients and a couple of shakes and garnish with a minty piece for added touch and TA-DA!
Green Beer is a necessity on St. Patrick’s Day! It’s nearly a right of passage. Make sure when choosing which beer to turn green that you go with a pale beer that is light enough to be able to show the changing color.
While maybe it’s not a green twist but you can have an over-the rainbow style with these Rainbow Cocktail slushies! These are way easier to make than you think and you get to use popsicles!
This drink recipe does call for a tad bit more alcohol than others, so if you’re making these for people who might have a lower tolerance, we recommend tapering it down to fit the crowd.
Get a little bubbly in your cocktails with these delicious apple St. Patrick’s Day drinks. If you like appletinis then you or your party are going to love these!
Drink another classic favorite for St. Patrick’s Day with this Bailey’s infused creation. No food coloring is needed to turn this green either!
Not targeted directly for St. Patrick’s Day, this juicy cocktail recipe is perfect for your party! If you need a weaker style drink this can be made without the vodka too!
Add a sweet and sour twang to your St. Patrick’s day cocktails with green apple jolly ranchers! You can also make these into shots too! This recipe also has a non-alcoholic version that’s easy to make too.
The name may throw you off but these are popular and in demand, especially for St. Patrick’s Day! Now while it does contain multiple different alcohols, what turns it green is the combination of ALL those together, which is cool to watch happen.
Enjoy milkshakes? Like ’em a little boozy? These are super easy to make and only contain two different types of alcohol. The recipe does make two shakes (so prepare ahead if you think these might be popular).
