Your pot o' gold is waiting you at the end of the rainbow, just follow the little green leprechaun. This smooth, creamy cocktail called a Shamrock Shaker is an ideal drink for St. Patrick's Day celebrations, complete with a bit of green and gold dusting on top. The drink itself is a decadent mix of coffee and almond flavored liqueurs brought together by a bit of milk.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 oz Kahlua
  • 2 1/2 oz milk
  • 1/2 oz Amaretto
  • edible green and gold powder for garnish (found at cake-decorating supply stores)

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake vigorously.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Sprinkle the green and gold powders on the top.
