Colonial Tavern bar manager Leanna Paolucci whipped up four cocktails to honor Irish culture this St. Patrick’s Day. There’s no green beer or coffee featured here. Instead she suggests these alternatives.
The Feisty Leprechaun is made with vodka, peach schnapps, blue curacao and orange juice. Garnish with a cherry.
The Shae Breeze uses coconut rum, pineapple juice, black raspberry liquer. Add a cherry on top.
