The Irish Spirit

Sunday March 12, 2006
It's time to stock up on your Irish spirits. Check your liquor cabinet for your favorite Irish whiskey and Irish cream so that you can have a great time with some green cocktails on St. Patrick's Day. While you're at the liquor store you may also want to grab a bottle of green crème de menthe so that you can add cocktails like Everybody's Irish and Irish Pride to your green drink list. Of course you cannot forget to pick up some Guinness, and plenty of it, because if you do want to be Irish for the day you need to drink real Irish lager and forget that green beer. Plus, if you're really feel brave (or know someone that is) Guinness is the key ingredient for an Irish Car Bomb. Hint: For easier to swallow shooters try Nutty Irishmen or Irish Flags.

However you do it, have a great time on Friday and just think, you probably don't have to work the next day (if you're lucky)!
Sláinte!
