With this in mind, and for the diehards who may or may not be fortunate enough to live in such Irish strongholds as Boston, Butte, or Dublin, we offer up a couple of festively colored cocktails, compliments of our friends at Privateer Rum.
St. Patty’s Smash
2oz Privateer Silver Rum
1oz Fresh Lime Juice
1oz Simple Syrup
10 Mint leaves
In a rocks glass combine all ingredients and muddle to extract mint flavor. Fill the glass with crushed ice to hold the mint leaves at the bottom. Garnish with a mint sprig and enjoy!
Aloha Leprechaun
2oz Privateer Silver
1oz Pineapple Juice
1oz Orange Juice
1oz Blue Curacao
1/2oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and give a quick shake. Pour cocktail into a glass and garnish with a pineapple wedge.
