Green Drinks

St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect excuse for a fun drink! Whether you’re looking for a green cocktail, a boozy dessert drink or an alcohol-free option, there are plenty of festive choices for celebrating. Here are some fun St. Patrick’s Day drinks to try.

Fun St. Patrick’s Day Drinks

Shamrock Shake

You don’t have to wait for McDonald’s to bring back the Shamrock Shake. This homemade version is creamy, minty and perfectly green for St. Patrick’s Day.

Green Mimosa

This bright green mimosa gets its color from orange juice and Blue Curaçao. Top it with champagne for a quick St. Patrick’s Day cocktail.

Homemade Irish Cream Liqueur

This homemade Irish cream isn’t an exact Baileys copycat, but it’s a creamy homemade alternative with a flavor all its own.

Mint Avocado Banana Smoothie

For a lighter take on a Shamrock Shake, this vegan smoothie uses mint, avocado and banana to make it thick, creamy and naturally green.

St. Patrick’s Day Pudding Shots

Part dessert and part cocktail, these pudding shots combine pistachio pudding with Irish cream liqueur for a fun party treat.

Healthy Vegan Shamrock Shake

This vegan Shamrock Shake is minty, green, thick and creamy for a lighter spin on the fast-food favorite.

Soggy Dollar Painkiller

The famous Painkiller comes from the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. It’s a tropical cocktail that’s definitely worth adding to the drink list.

Midori Melon Margarita

Midori melon liqueur puts a sweet, bright-green twist on the classic margarita and makes this one especially fitting for St. Patrick’s Day.

Kale Smoothie

Not every green drink needs booze or food coloring. This easy kale smoothie gives you a naturally green option for the holiday.

Fresh Pea Gazpacho Shooters

Okay, technically it’s soup — but served in little glasses, these chilled pea gazpacho shooters make a fun green addition to a St. Patrick’s Day spread.
