Every year my husband and I celebrate St. Patrick's Day with another couple. The evening is hosted at our home and features a traditional corned beef dinner. For me, the cooking part is easy: a boiled dinner of corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots and homemade Irish soda bread. For the guys, the beverage is easy: Guinness. For my girlfriend and me, the drinks have proven to be more difficult. Neither of us like beer, and mint drinks can be overpowering.

by Jared on June 18th, 2010 | Cocktails, Crafty Bartender, Martinis
Editor's Note: Last week we introduced you to our newest columnist, Jared- The Crafty Bartender. This week we are pleased to deliver his first recipe. In typical Jared fashion, there are great ingredients and a fabulous presentation to this beverage.
We hope you enjoy this recipe, his delightful use of strawberries, and return for his monthly delights for the senses. And now, we will turn this space over to Jared. . .
For the month of June, I have chosen a fun martini. Because we are in the mist of a fantastic strawberry crop here in New Hampshire, I elected to make

Recently,there was a request at Idea Offer for a good cocktail that has coffee as an ingredient. The winning choice was an interesting drink called Keoki Coffee.
The winning poster was sjks0427 (catchy handle!), and this is what he/she wrote:
There is a really good drink called a Keoki Coffee which has Kahlua, dark rum, brandy and creme de cacao (quarter shot of each), then add coffee and top with whipped cream. Very yummy. A lot of bars offer a version of this that include only 3 of the 4 liquors, but the original version is as stated above.

Minty McFreeze
by Michele on April 16th, 2009 | Cocktails, Frozen Drinks
Typically, I am an on time sort of person. I don't like being late for events or making others late. However, this post is almost a month overdue, as it is the recipe for my St. Patrick's Day creation. Granted, I forgot to take a photo of it at our celebration, but I could have done that the next day. No gold star for my promptness on this post.
So, I guess I will spin this one as best I can. I am helping everyone to be ready for next year's St. Patrick's Day celebration 11 months early. . .
