written by Leena Kollar

One of the best parts of holidays is getting to try new foods and drinks. I’m not a big drinker in general, but I’m open to trying new flavors if they sound appealing. With St. Patrick’s Day, you can expect plenty of green treats for trying, and for grown-ups, that includes those of an adult nature. Yep, I’m talking about cocktails. Anything green, rainbow or Irish is fair game on St. Patrick’s Day, and these all look incredibly delicious! Will you join me in raising a glass to these festive drink recipes?

1. Shamrock Midori Melon Martini

Back when I was in college, my favorite cocktail was a Midori sour. I love fruity flavors! This Midori martini has the same ingredients but mixes in orange juice also. For an extra sweet taste, dip the rim of the glass in honey and green colored sugar.

I’m not a beer drinker, and I’ll never understand how people can enjoy the taste of it. However, I love ice cream, so I’d totally be up for trying this Guinness beer float! All you do is plop some ice cream in a mug and pour Guinness over it. So easy, and what a tasty way to loosen up.

7 Lemonade Recipes To Get You In The Mood For Spring

by Jordyn Smith
written by Jordyn Smith

Aside from water, of course, there’s almost nothing as refreshing as a nice, cold glass of lemonade. Slightly zesty, ridiculously sweet, and too amazing not to love, lemonade may be most popular during the spring and summer months but it totally holds up at any time of the year. About a week into February and with temperatures topping out at about 30 degrees in my state I got a craving for lemonade that would not be quenched. It didn’t matter how cold it was or the fact that I had to wear all of my winter gear, mittens and all, to go buy lemons. All that mattered was my quest for the most delicious drink in the world.

Luckily, this quest was completed with a homemade pitcher that ended up mysteriously disappearing in less than a day. Still, it was totally worth the trouble. Just like these every single one of these delicious recipes!

1. Fresh Peach lemonade

This lemonade may look all classy and sophisticated but the recipe is ridiculously simple. Three measly ingredients (peaches, sugar, and water) are all you really need to create a recipe that is just as sweet as it is refreshing.

Even with its steamy heat, hot chocolate is a drink that can be enjoyed all year round. It’s warm, chocolatey goodness can be enjoyed fully even in the dead of summer. Still, there’s nothing like being able to curl up on a cold winters night with a nice, steaming cup of cocoa.

It is entirely possible that the only thing better than classic hot chocolate is hot chocolate that has been enhanced with a bit of alcohol. Bailey’s Irish Cream, bourbon, and even straight vodka go surprisingly well with everyone’s favorite winter drink.
