Because it's the month where we celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

March 2010

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey
1/2 oz Drambuie
1 Tbs lemon juice
Ice
Ginger Ale
Lemon slice, thinly cut

Combine whiskey, Drambuie, lemon juice, and ice into a shaker. Shake til chilled, then strain into a glass. Top with ginger ale and garnish with lemon slice. If you want to have a more green tint to the drink, add one or two drops of green food coloring.

Why the Dancing Leprechaun:
Because it's the month where we celebrate St. Patrick's Day! And what better to celebrate the holiday then with a little Irish whiskey and a drink that has "leprechaun" in it's title? While the drink's ingredients don't lend themselves to a finished product that's green, you can always add a dash of green food coloring on St. Pat's day to celebrate in style.

1 large can frozen orange juice

1 large can frozen lemonade

8 cups boiling water

1 & 1/2 cups sugar

1 jar maraschino cherries

4 tea bags

2 cups hot water

lemon-lime soda (or orange soda)

Steep tea bags in 2 cups hot water. Remove tea bags. Mix tea and all other ingredients (soda) together. Freeze in container for 24 hours. When ready to serve, scoop slush into glass and add some lemon-lime soda to make slushy. You could also substitute orange soda for lemon-lime for more of an orange kick. Enjoy!

Why Bourbon Slush:

It's our good friend Q's birthday month, and in honor of that we have used one of his favorite ingredients in our drink of the month, bourbon! Bourbon slush is a tasty frozen treat, even if people don't care for bourbon straight up. It's also a great recipe for a party, and this year the Super Bowl falls in February so make it for your Super Bowl party!
