St. Patrick's Day Libations - Beyond Green Beer
Hawaii Diner Staff
March 2008

St. Patrick's Day inspired us here at HawaiiDiner.com to seek out something a bit more sophisticated than Green Beer to celebrate the "The Luck O'the Irish".

These cocktails provide the obligatory green color to honor St. Patrick and use ingredients readily available. They range from the classic Grasshopper to the trendy Green Coconut and the sweet Green Eyed Blonde (a colorful shot) to the not so sweet Green Mist, and will delight your guests, or yourself, with new tastes.

The green in the cocktails comes from either Creme de Menthe (green) or Midori both of which can easily be found and should be staples in a well stocked bar since the Creme de Menthe provides a delightful creamy mint flavor and the Midori is, of course, melon flavored.
