Ok, so a little belated. Most of us have those boring old 9-5 jobs so, minus a small gathering the night of, our big celebration will be tonight. In the spirit, the host has put together a menu of green and "Irish" drinks. We will be sampling these tonight, and may or may not stick with them (some of these seem a bit questionable...). If you would like to join in, or add some fun green drinks that are a bit more than dyed beer to your menu, keep on reading!
Honeydew Martini
3 oz vodka
1/2 oz Midori
1/2 oz Triple Sec
Emerald Rain
2 oz Hypnotique
1 oz vodka
1 oz pineapple juice
Irish Flag
1/3 oz creme de menthe
1/3 oz whiskey
1/3 oz Bailey's
Grass Hopper
3/4 oz creme de menthe
3/4 oz crem de cacao
3/4 oz milk
Misty Mint
1 1/2 oz creme de menthe
1 oz white rum
Irish Coffee
1 1/1 oz Irish whiskey
6 oz coffee
3/4 oz Irish cream
Evergreen
1 oz equila
1 oz creme de menthe
1/2 oz Midori
3 oz pineapple juice
Jade
2 oz white rum
1/4 oz creme de menthe
1/2 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz lime juice
Irish Cola
1 oz Irish whiskey
1 oz Irish cream
4 oz cola
Irish Car Bomb
3/4 pint Guinness
1/2 shot Irish cream
1/2 shot Irish whiskey
And of course, lots of Irish whiskey. Ours of choice (at least for the night) is Egan's. You may or may not recall from an earlier post that our friends (the hosts for tonight, actually) are Irish and their family can trace their ancestry back to make a connection with the family who makes Egan's Irish Whiskey. Highly recommended, if you feel like importing it.
UPDATE: The questionable ones were not as bad as anticipated. Evergreen surprisingly works--tastes a bit strange, but works. The Honeydew Martini is incredibly strong, I would recommend making a smaller one. Emerald Rain needs more pineapple juice, but isn't bad. My personal favorite was the grasshopper, which tastes as the name implies it should.
