Just in time for St. Patty’s Day! My “MINT CONDITION” Martini and the “DIRTY IRISHMAN” Cocktail!

Top of the mornin’ to you all! It’s almost time for my favorite holiday of the year…that’s right, St. Patty’s Day. So, break out your green shamrock t-shirt and get your Irish brogue in high gear and let’s tip a few back in honor of St. Patrick, our Irish ancestors and leprechauns the world over. And, what better way to kick off the celebration than with two of my signature cocktails, the “MINT CONDITION” martini and my latest creation, the “DIRTY IRISHMAN” cocktail!

Here’s how you make the “Mint Condition” …1 1/2 oz of vodka, 1/2 oz green creme de menthe, 1 oz Irish Cream. Swirl chocolate sauce inside a dry martini glass. Combine ingredients in a shake full of ice and shake well. Strain into the martini glass.

And the “Dirty Irishman”…Fill a tall glass full of ice. Combine 1 3/4 oz vanilla vodka and 1/2 oz Frangelica (hazelnut liquor) in a shake full of ice and shake well. Strain into glass. Combine 1 oz Guinness beer and 1 oz of Irish Cream into a second shaker of ice and shake until frothy. Strain slowly onto the top of the drink. To add a touch of green, add three small drops Green Creme de Menthe onto the top of the cocktail and it will float to the bottom of the drink.

Enjoy the spirit of the day and may you find a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Cheers! David
