Green Beer - Green Beer is the most popular drink for St. Patrick's Day and for good reason, it's just fun to drink a green beer. 

Although most people make green beer by adding food coloring, you can also make green beer by adding the liqueur Blue Curacuo as well.  Here are the instructions:

To start with, get a frosty cold beer mug from the freezer.

Next, place a few drops of green food coloring in the bottom prior to the beer.  Here is where you could use Blue Curacuo instead if you prefer.

Finally, Pour in a very light colored beer so the green color can be seen.  Toast your friends and family and enjoy!  Check out these Irish toasts and blessings!

Irish Coffee - Sometimes just coffee alone will not do the trick.  So, do as the Irish do and add some good old fashioned Irish whiskey to the mix.  A longtime favorite of Irish pubs!  Just get the best Irish whiskey, some good coffee and a little fresh whipped cream.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 oz strong, hot coffee
1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey
1 tsp brown sugar or sugar cubes
1 oz whipping cream

Instructions:
Pour the coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar into an Irish coffee glass or mug.  Stir well. Top off with some sweet whip cream.
