St. Patty’s Day Themed Cocktails

Tweet

St. Patty’s Day is the one-day of the year where everyone is Irish. This cultural and religious holiday first took place in 1783 to commemorate Saint Patrick, one of the most commonly recognized patron saints of Ireland. You know Ole St. Patrick, he’s the one that rid the island of snakes. Today, the celebration consists of wearing of green and drinking green beer.
