St. Patrick's Day Party Specialty Drinks

Video Transcript

"Every St. Patrick's Day party should have a nice signature drink, and I'm going to demonstrate one here for you. I call it the 'Smashed Shamrock'. Get yourself a glass or a mixer. Then add in some mojito mix, you can get this at many organic grocers or liquor stores, non-alcoholic, there's no alcohol in here. So, you're going to see, actually going to do an alcoholic and non-alcoholic version of this drink for you. After you've entered in the mojito mix, this is where it starts to get a little non-mojito-ish. We're going to add in some lime juice, about two parts mojito mix, one part lime juice, don't overdo it, lime juice is, shall we say, potent. After you've done your lime juice, four parts soda water. So we're going to fill this up with soda water. So you're going to fill this up a lot with soda water. There you go, near the brim, near the rim. Now if this is going to be a non-alcoholic drink, you're done, this is it, maybe put a couple of ice cubes in there, ready to serve. If you're not, then we're going to add in one part vodka. Good. Mix it up, shake it up, if you have a shaker on hand, otherwise, you're ready to serve and you have a nice specialty drink. Now you can make this in big batches, you don't necessarily have to do this on a per glass basis, in which case I recommend having nice official shakers and mixers, or even like a pitcher where you can basically premix this before your party. That's also a big help, saves you time, saves you effort, less time bartending, more time having fun, more time hosting. So keep this in mind before you have your St. Patrick's Day party, before it's underway, but I do recommend that having at least one signature drink is an extra great way for people to remember your party."
