Let’s take a look at some St. Patrick’s Day cocktails, shots, and beverages that our grown-up selves might appreciate a little more.


When I was in university, it was customary to spend your St. Patrick’s Day “enjoying” green beer and copious shots with friends until the wee hours of the morning. Ah, those were the days… well, not really. No one enjoyed the morning after; usually, we were all writing exams and final essays and downright miserable. I suppose how we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day now might be slightly classier. Let’s peek at some St. Patrick’s Day cocktails, shots, and beverages that our grown-up selves might appreciate a little more. I’ll pass on the green beer if you don’t mind!
