Cocktail Hour: St. Paddy in the Tropics

Discover the story

St. Patrick’s Day is coming right up, and instead of just going for typical drinks like whiskey or beer this March 17^th, we thought we would come up with a much more interesting drink option for you. So, we turned to our friend, the Liquid Chef Rob Floyd and asked him to create something for us … And what he came up with does not disappoint! Rob made a delicious and festive St. Patrick’s Day cocktail that will please any Irish palette — A great mix of both sweet (with pineapple) and tart (with ginger and whiskey), this cocktail is very refreshing and easy to make at home.

Rob is a master mixologist, and has been kind enough to share summer drink recipes with us in the past, you can check them out here. We hope you all enjoy, and have a great St. Patrick’s Day!

Cheers! (And a reminder to always drink responsibly, and don’t drink and drive!)
