It's St. Patrick's Day—time to drink green cocktails!
If you are like me and are kind of a hippie about green food coloring in beer full of indigestible glutens, you are in the market for a creative booze option for a Tuesday. Well today is your lucky day because I have a fun and simple cocktail recipe with a very different spin than your traditional Irish pub beverage.
Plus you can make it and drink it from the same jar. No mess. YAY!
RECIPE: Green Tea Cocktail
