When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day libations, we have to admit, green beer just isn’t our thing. So to avoid being labeled a St. Paddy’s Day Grinch at the bar, we’ve found the perfect emerald-hued replacement. Yup, just when you thought green beer and Guinness were the only two beverages to drink on this Irish holiday, along comes this super fresh (and tasty) cocktail.<\/p>\n

Pistola<\/a> of Los Angeles has concocted one unique libation that will keep you from getting pinched. (Who would’ve thought you could put arugula in a cocktail?!) This refreshing green drink is perfect to sip this Thursday. With a peppery arugula puree, tart lime juice, and gin, this will be the perfect savory drink to sip all night long, whether you are Irish or not. Cheers!<\/p>\n
