Getting Ready for St. Patrick's Day!

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, here is what's hot on the cocktail front – BEER COCKTAILS! March 17th marks one of the country’s biggest beer-drinking holidays, and for those who are looking to try something new and/or are sick of green beer, this might just be the solution!

Lucky Lime
1.5 oz Russian Standard Vodka
3 pieces of Kumquat
0.5 oz Lime Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
Top with Amstel Light Beer

Rumor has it that it is impossible to find the leprechaun’s pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, that is, until you discover this fresh combination! The sweet undertones of this award-winning Nicaraguan rum mixed with Guinness result in the creation of your own pot of gold, as reflected by the burnt orange glow this delicious cocktail gives off.

Burnt Oranges
1.5 oz Flor de Caña Rum
0.5 oz Blood Orange Puree
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
Top with Guinness Beer

The distinctive herbal character of Lucid absinthe is an ideal complement to a green-filled holiday like St. Patty’s Day. Lucid, the spirit responsible for reintroducing absinthe to the United States in 2007, is as unique and exciting a find as an authentic four-leaf clover!
