I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?
St. Patrick’s Day is a magical time for those of us who like to indulge in fermented delights. A quick side note, always use a standard three-leaf clover (a.k.a. shamrock) for the holiday. St. Patrick used the three leaves to talk about the Trinity, which is all about three becoming one. None of this lucky four-leaf business – that’s a pet peeve of mine. As I was saying, it’s a drinker’s holiday, and that means it’s time for me to drop some new recipe knowledge on you. So, here’s how to make a St. Patty’s Shandy:
1 part Sweet Leaf Original Lemonade
1 part wheat beer or hefeweizen
2 drops of green food coloring
(optional)
garnish with a thick wedge of lemon and a shamrock
Nothing says “Top of the mornin’ to ye!” like a swig of green alcohol, and this recipe is so easy an Irishman could mix it. (Just kidding, folks. I’m not trying to instigate a donnybrook.)
Send me your recipe. I’ll post them here, and I’ll add them to our website.
