This week, I will be throwing in a few cocktails that will go perfect for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The first one is one of my favorite. That’s why I am introducing this one first. I’m sure you have heard of the Apple-Tini. This one uses Irish Whiskey for the base ingredient, replacing vodka. A hearty beverage with a fine mix of apple and cranberry, I am sure this will become one of your favorites as well.

This is one of five St. Patrick’s Day cocktails I will be introducing. This is not including the two that are introduced in the St. Patrick’s Day Special video you will find on my site for the week. Monday through Friday this week, make sure you check out the others I have chosen. Hope this cocktail helps you kick off the St. Paddy’s day countdown on a good note. Slainte!
