Naturally Green for St. Patrick’s Day
These two drinks may seem miles apart, but they have one thing in common! Green Tea. Alright, before you leave, just give it a try! I honestly did not think the Matcha Beer was going to be that great since I am usually not a big fan of Matcha… but it turns out they go Really well together (or maybe it was just the brand of Matcha I bought?) I don’t like having to use food coloring if I don’t have to so these are some great natural ways to get some green going for St. Patty’s Day.
For the Matcha Beer I used Sencha brand Yuzu Ginger flavored Matcha Power that is made to be iced. The ginger definitely came through and I think it mixed really well with the Stella Artois beer that I chose.
For the Twisted Irish Tea I used regular Lipton Green Tea, Mata Hari Absinthe, and Jameson Irish Whiskey. I will be honest, this wasn’t my favorite of the recipes we made, but I am not a huge absinthe fan to begin with. Its a fun classy drink with a unique twist that would be perfect for a date night or upscale St. Patty’s Day party!
