Lager beer
Green food coloring
Gin
Green crème de menthe
White crème de menthe
Angostura bitters
Green maraschino cherries
Green chartreuse
Bailey’s Irish crème
Brandy
Step 1:
Make the most classic green drink of all, green beer. Simply pour a pint of your favorite lager beer and add one drop of green food coloring at a time until you reach your desired shade of green. The only downfall with using green food coloring to make green drinks, is that your mouth often ends up the same shade of shamrock. On the up side, drink a green beer, and no one can give you a St. Patrick’s day pinch for not wearing green.
Step 2:
Mix yourself up an Emerald Forest, a green drink that contains no food coloring. Combine 1 and 1/2 oz. of gin, 1/4 oz. of green crème de menthe and 1/4 oz. of white crème de menthe in an ice filled shaker. Shake well and serve this festive St. Patrick’s Day drink in a martini glass.
Step 3:
Enjoy another green drink favorite, the Emerald Isle Cocktail. In an ice filled shaker, combine 2 1/2 oz. gin, 1/2 oz. green crème de menthe and three dashes of angostura bitters. Shake well and pour the drink into a chilled cocktail glass. For an extra touch, garnish the drink with a green maraschino cherry and enjoy.
Step 4:
Be Irish with a St. Patrick’s Day cocktail festively named Everybody’s Irish. Fill a shaker with ice and add 1 1/2 oz. Irish whisky, 1/2 oz. green chartreuse and 1/2 oz. green crème de menthe. Shake well and pour your drink into a cocktail glass that has been chilled, and add a cherry.
Step 5:
Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with an Irish Flag. Pour 1 oz. of green crème de menthe into a cordial glass. Set a teaspoon on the back of the glass and pour 1 oz. of Bailey’s Irish crème into the glass so that it floats on top of the green crème de menthe, followed by a layer of brandy. Pour carefully so that your drink will be layered in the colors of the Irish flag. References :
Try serving guiness (a lot of people drink it with green food coloring added), or an irish whiskey like bushmills or jameson. If you need something green and sweet, you could always make an appletini (1 part vodka, 1 part-or 1/2 part-depending on your taste- apple pucker, splash sour mix, splash sprite) or something with midori (midori and sour mix).

mix vodka with green food coloring and ice.

I’m a bartender and here are acouple green fruity drinks I can think of off the top of my head:
Alien Secretion:
malibu, midori (or melon flavored liquer), and pineapple juice
*shake with ice and serve as a shot.. it’s a lime green color
Midori sour:
midori and sweet & sour on the rocks
Alligator Bite:
put razzmatazz liquer in bottom of cup
midori, pineapple (shake with ice and strain)
layer jagermeister on top
… you can pretty much mix midori or apple pucker with either gin, vodka, or rum to make a yummy drink.
for a st.patrick’s party I’m having I’m also having:
mojitos
green jello shots
melon margaritas
green guiness beer
hope that helps!
