The Brotherhood is March 17th Drink of the Day!!

March 17, 2012 | By Shaun the Bartender | 1 Comment

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!!

This is the day where the patron Saint of Ireland is celebrated with green beer, parades, and….well, let’s just say….it’s a great excuse to take a day off from the everyday to go out and tie one on.

You are all probably figuring I would come up with a drink that would match the color of the day. Well, for that very reason, I wanted to find something that is just as Irish that you wouldn’t have to drink with that green hue. To me, nothing satisfies me more than to find something that won’t stain the fingers while drinking, or making for that matter.

Enjoy this nice Irish Whiskey cocktail. Just be sure to be responsible and safe today!
