ST. PATRICK'S COCKTAILS

What would St. Patrick's Day be without a classic Irish Coffee (Caife Gaelach)? Absolutely nothing! So, I have adapted that wonderful and historical beverage here as a cold version for your martini glass!

This Irish Coffee Martini is a lovely adaptation of one of my favorite cocktails of all time. I lived in the Bay Area for several decades and was lucky enough to have enjoyed the original, hot version of Irish Coffee many times at The Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco - where the original owner, Jack Koeppler, made this cocktail famous!

There's a fascinating history behind Irish Coffee at The Buena Vista's website - yes, that lovely pub is still there at Hyde and Beach on Fisherman's Wharf and I encourage you to drop in and enjoy one of their famous Irish Coffees if you're ever in San Francisco!

ST. PATRICK'S COCKTAILS

For your Tequila Lovers here is a fun St. Patrick's Day Martini where the ingredients combine to give a nice green color! It's sort of a take off on a margarita with the sweet coming from the pineapple juice and the sour from the lime so feel free to blend it with ice instead of shake it like a martini - either way it's a winner!

Fun St. Patrick's Day Fact:
The OFFICIAL SYMBOL OF IRELAND is the Irish harp - the shamrock is the national flower.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY MARTINIS - The Blarney - Tini, Whiskey Cocktail


Well, the Oscars are over and it's time for St. Patrick's Day Martinis! I had some fun with these and designed the recipe card with great graphic shamrocks and added a fun little Irish saying or blessing to each martini recipe to keep with the Irish theme. There are eight Irish themed St. Patrick's Day Martinis for you to enjoy - one for each day before March 17th!

First up is The Blarney-Tini. This Irish whiskey based martini is a wonderful combination of whiskey, mint and cream and will warm the cockles of your little Irish loving heart. It has a soft green color and is garnished with green mint candies so it's a perfect match to the green of your St. Patrick's Day party celebrations!

Here's a little St. Patrick's Day fact for you to share with all your Irish Loving friends: St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

HOLLYWOOD MARTINI


More of my
OSCAR COCKTAILS HERE

It's that time of year again - time for the Academy Awards! Last year my Academy Award Martinis were so popular I've decided to post them again.

Today is The Hollywood Martini - a tip of the martini glass to the film classics of Hollywood past, this classic martini recipe comes with a plot twist of Goldwasser and edible gold flakes!

I'm really looking forward to Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin as the hosts of this year's Oscars. I've gotten to really enjoy Baldwin's new comedic acting turn (especially on 30 Rock & in It's Complicated). Baldwin's no stranger to the Oscars, having been nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for his supporting role in “The Cooler.” Martin is one of my all time favorite actors from way back and he has hosted twice before so he's a veteran. Did you know he plays in a bluegrass band called the Steep Canyon Rangers? I expect we might get a Steve Martin banjo segment this Sunday, don't you?

So, who do you think is going to win Best Actor and Best Actress? And who will they award Best Picture to? Or, better yet who would you WANT to see win and why?
