For St Patrick's Day, you should consider a cocktail celebrating the Irish heritage. There are many classic cocktails you can choose from such as the Irish whiskey drink, but there are also many modern options. Here are some examples.
Celtic Mix cocktail
A St Patrick's day drink combining Irish whiskey and Scotch whiskey can be a great way to celebrate the day. Stirred on the rocks with fresh lemon juice and bitters, this drink can make any drinker homesick for County Cork.
Baby Guinness
Baby Guinness shots can be a good alternative to green beer and are great for St Patrick's Day. It is an excellent alternative to green beer and can also be made in large batches. These small shots are quick to make and the perfect drink for parties.
Cactus from Ireland
You don't necessarily have to drink Irish Cactus on St Patricks Day. The Irish Cactus cocktail is a simple and delicious cocktail that combines tequila and Irish cream. It has a distinctly tequila flavor and is a great dessert drink. Easy to make, this drink is also very easy. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. Silver tequila works well as a substitute for aged tequila.
Irish Maid
The Irish Maid is a classic Irish cocktail. It's a delicious mix of Irish whiskey, elderflower liquor, and lemon juice. This is the perfect St Patrick's Day drink, served in a tumbler topped with cucumber slices.
Peppermint Martini
Make your next cocktail a peppermint one to celebrate St Patrick's Day with style. This festive drink includes chocolate cake vodka mixed with Baileys Irish Cream, Creme du Menthe, Baileys Irish Cream and Peppermint Liquor. It is served with a martini glass. A peppermint patty can be added to the glass for visual appeal.
Green with Envy
A green cocktail can be a great substitute for green beer on St Patrick's Day. This boozy cocktail contains vodka, orange and sparkling wines. Midori, which is a green-apple-flavored liquor, can also be used as a base, but it's not as strong.

Here are some great tips to make delicious cocktails.

Use high-quality spirits. You shouldn't buy cheap alcohol that tastes similar to rubbing alcohol. Select premium brands such a Absolut Citron.

High-quality syrups and juices are best. Avoid low-quality syrups and juices that are artificially colored and/or have artificial flavors.

What are the best mixed drinks to order at bars?
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
People added ice to the mix and then they added "Old-Fashioned", because they thought it tasted better.
A Manhattan could be another option. Another great option is the Manhattan. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using Bourbon, you can use Rye Whiskey. Instead of sugar, you use sweet Vermouth.
This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.
How can I keep my drinks chilled?
Place them in the freezer for 20 min. These will instantly chill the drinks without causing any dilution.
What is the difference in a Manhattan and a martini, exactly?
The ingredients for a martini are gin and vermouth. You can make a Manhattan by adding whiskey to sweet Vermouth. Both drinks are served chilled.
