Cocktails To Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2020

St. Patrick’s Day is on the horizon, which means it’s time to start planning your celebrations. When people think about St. Patrick’s Day drinks, the first thing that often comes to mind is a pint of Guinness and a shot of Jameson. While those are definitely good choices (we’ll certainly be having one — or three— on the big day), St. Patrick’s Day drinks can actually be a whole lot more.

If you’re looking to shake things up this St. Patrick’s day, here are a few cocktails to try:

• 1 part Vermouth

• 1 dash Bitters

• Maraschino cherry

Method: Add ice, whiskey, vermouth and bitters to a glass. Gently swirl or stir with a mixing spoon for about 20 seconds. Don’t rush this part. Add a maraschino cherry if you’d like.
