"st. patricks" news and stories

We here at Slashfood love holidays that, well, involve a little bit of beverage taste-testing. After all, it just wouldn't be acceptable to put a recipe out there that hasn't passed quality control, right?

In the past we have covered how to make various St. Patrick's Day libations such as green beer, stout-based cocktails including black & tans & black velvets, and even some Irish-themed shooters.

Now, it is your turn. We'd like to hear what you drink for St. Patrick's Day. Do you take this opportunity to be creative and come up with your own cocktails, or do you simply pour your usual Saturday night beverage? As for me, I'll be sticking to a mug of Guinness, freshly poured at my local Irish pub. I may skip the green food coloring though.
