    I will jump at any chance to celebrate. I love festivities. I love holidays. I wish life was one big elementary school classroom party with Valentine's day boxes and piñatas. So I don't think you need to ask me how I feel about St. Patrick's day 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    There's headbands and necklaces and Irish music and witty shirts and parades and day drinking and everyone wears green and oh my gosh its sooo fun!!

    Sadly my St. Patty's day this year included a full day of work, grocery shopping and catching up on my DVR'd shows. Welcome to adulthood, huh? But that doesn't mean I can't still celebrate with some festive green drinks!shamrock martini ingredients on black chalkboard with leprechaun hat shaped napkinI have a reputation for trying to make colorful, festive drinks that somehow always end up looking like pond water. I haven't quite figured out the dynamics of these super complex recipes with <5 ingredients that are all liquid. Just can't figure it out. Anyway, I'm super proud of my St. Patty's day martini because it actually turned out GREEN!! (Okay, it was yellow at first but I fixed it...)

    And the best part of these martinis?? They're half orange juice and since I'm a little under the weather this week they're pretty much like medicine, right??

    Enjoy, be festive, treat your life like a classroom holiday party, you're worth it! 🙂
