Why stop at wearing green? Why not toast to this uniquely Irish/American celebration by drinking green as well? We aren’t talking green beer here either, but something a little extra.

Your green drinking this St. Patrick’s day could be a green margarita. The origins of St. Patrick’s Day and all things green didn’t begin in the US, but we can take credit for the St. Patrick’s Day party as we know it.
