With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, we thought that you might be interested in shaking up some green cocktails!
Though the color usually implies you’ll have to pinch your nose before swallowing, these green cocktails come from some of New York’s finest barmen and are absolutely delicious!
Cheers!
