Observe the green color-especially in the head (the foamy portion at the top of the glass). Add another drop or two of food coloring, if needed. If you add the food coloring after pouring the beer into the glass, it will still work, but you will have to stir the beer.

Toast your friends and family with your green beer on St. Patrick's Day by saying Slainte ("Slawn-Cha"). Slainte is Gaelic and means "good health."
