St. Patrick’s Day Drinks
We are moving past the era of neon green food coloring in beer and the watered down lagers. This St. Patrick’s Day , it is time to ditch the green beer and lean into cocktails that actually carry some weight. St. Patrick’s Day deserves spirits that can hold their own, and the Red Eye Louie’s lineup is built for exactly that.
Whether you are looking for the complex, herbal depth of a “Massey” featuring WhisQuila and Immoral Gin, or a savory, garden-fresh “Green Bloody Mary” powered by VodQuila, these recipes are about flavor first, festive second. We’ve traded the gimmicks for sophisticated profiles…think botanical gin, aged whiskey notes, and crisp agave blends.
Here are the essential St. Patrick’s Day cocktail recipes to elevate your celebration.
