1. Shamrock Mint Mudslide

What you'll need:

Tippy Cow Shamrock Mint is a creamy, mint-chocolate rum cream liqueur that tastes like melted mint chip ice cream in a glass. Blend it with vanilla vodka and heavy cream over ice, and you've got a naturally green, crowd-pleasing drink with zero food coloring required.

How to make it:

  • Add 2 oz Tippy Cow Shamrock Mint, 1 oz vanilla vodka, and 1 oz heavy cream to a blender with a cup of ice
  • Blend until smooth
  • Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with whipped cream and a sprig of mint
  • Serve immediately and watch it disappear

2. Irish Whiskey Sour with a Green Twist

Two green drinks with foamy tops in elegant glasses on a table beside a vase of yellow flowers.

What you'll need:

Green Spot is a single pot still Irish whiskey with notes of fresh fruit, spice, and toasted oak — fantastic neat, but even better in a cocktail. A splash of blue curaçao creates that signature green hue naturally, and a quick egg white shake gives it that velvety, craft bar-worthy foam on top.

How to make it:

  • Combine 2 oz Green Spot Irish Whiskey, ¾ oz fresh lime juice, ½ oz simple syrup, ½ oz blue curaçao, and 1 egg white in a cocktail shaker
  • Dry shake (no ice) for 10–15 seconds to emulsify the egg white
  • Add ice and shake again vigorously for another 15 seconds
  • Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a lime wheel or a few drops of Angostura bitters

3. Lucky Leprechaun

What you'll need:

Jameson's light, approachable flavor blends beautifully with the tropical sweetness of Midori and pineapple juice, and a float of St. Brendan's Irish Cream adds creamy richness on top. It's bright, green, and built for a party.

How to make it:

  • Fill a shaker with ice and add 1.5 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey, 1 oz Midori melon liqueur, and 2 oz pineapple juice
  • Shake well and strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice
  • Slowly pour ½ oz of St. Brendan's Irish Cream over the back of a spoon to create a float on top
  • Garnish with a pineapple slice or maraschino cherry, or both
