Whether you are Irish, or you just like to pretend you are, St. Patricks day has always been a day to have fun with friends and family. There are two things that are synonymous with St. Patricks Day, wearing green and having drinks with friends. While green beer is fun, it can tend to be filling and full of calories, which is not good for those who are trying to watch their caloric intake or would rather fill their stomachs with delicious food. Therefore, I set out to find a few green drinks that are waistline friendly and perfect for St. Patricks Day or any other day.
1. The Melon Martini:
Ingredients:
- Large handful of honeydew melon cube
- 1/2 fresh lemon, squeezed for juice
- Good quality vodka (amount to your liking)
- 2 drops of Midori Melon liqueur
- Ice cubes
Put the melon cubes, fresh lemon juice, Midori Melon and vodka in a blender and blend until smooth. Put the ice cubes and blended drink in a shaker and shake for about 30 seconds or until chilled. When this is done you are ready to serve, fill your glass and garnish with a piece of melon or a lemon slice and enjoy.
2. Luck O? the Mojito
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 pinch fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
- 3 medium basil leaves
- 3 mint leaves
- Juice of half a lime
- 1 oz vodka (or white rum)
- crushed ice
- club soda
In the bottom of a Collins, or mixing glass, muddle sugar, water, ginger, basel, mint leaves and lime juice. When you are done with that pour in the vodka, or white rum, and stir. After you have that all mixed top with crushed ice and club soda. Garnish with a slice of lime and enjoy!
3. Green Sangria
Ingredients:
- Bottle of Pinot Grigio
- 1 oz Midori Melon liqueur
- 1/2 green apple (sliced)
- 1/4th English Cucumber (sliced)
- 1/2 lime (sliced)
- 10 mint leaves
- 1/2 kiwi (peeled and sliced)
- club soda
Combine all ingredients, except the club soda in a pitcher and refrigerate for 2 ? 8 hours. To serve spoon some of the fruit into a wine glass before pouring. Top it off with a splash of club soda to taste.
