What is the one drink almost everyone wants to know how to make on St. Patrick's Day? Green beer, of course. It does have a certain allure, though we'd recommend a pint of Guinness for a more authentic Irish experience.

If you've only enjoyed a green beer at the local pub, you'll be happy to know that it's beyond simple to make at home. Save some cash and discover the secret to transforming any light-colored beer into an emerald-colored brew.

Green is the color of the day and there are many fascinating green cocktails that are perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Among our favorite recipes is the Green Dublin Apple cocktail. 

This is no ordinary green apple martini. No, this one is filled to the brim with Irish spirit thanks to the Irish whiskey which replaces the typical shot of vodka. The cocktail also uses white cranberry juice to sweeten the mix and allow the green apple schnapps to give the drink its signature color. 

3. The Massey Cocktail

If you're looking for a high-class option that celebrates Irish whiskey in all its glory, the Massey cocktail is a great choice. It's an ideal match for an Irish-themed dinner party filled with traditional foods.

This cocktail has a classic style and you'll enjoy its array of flavors. The base is Irish whiskey and London dry gin mixed with sweet vermouth. To that, you'll add the herbs of Chartreuse and Campari. It's a truly fascinating combination.  

4. Guinness and Green Jell-O Shot

What would a St. Patrick's Day party be without a round of shots? A little less fun, possibly. While there are a number of fun shooter recipes that fit the Irish theme, we suggest you try this original take on the popular Jell-O shot. 

The Guinness and Green is unique and delicious. The first layer is a gelatin mix of Guinness and Irish whiskey and the top is a green-colored gelatin with Irish cream. It's almost as fun to make as it is to drink!
