St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to the St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop! If you've never been to my blog before, then welcome! I write contemporary and western erotic romance. If you've been here before, then you know how things around here work. 

Today, I'm offering two prizes, but you have to get to the bottom to find out about them, okay? Good.

I'm half Irish, so I consider St. Patrick's Day to be very important to me. What better way to celebrate than with alcohol. A few years ago, a friend told me about a drink she had called Leprechaun Piss. Obviously, I needed to make this and thought you might too.

Mix together the following:
  • 1 oz. blue curacao
  • 1 oz. triple sec
  • 1 oz peach schnapps
  • Top with orange juice
It will turn a lovely chemical green color that is very festive for the holiday.

Okay, so I think I said something about prizes. Leave a comment telling me your favorite mixed drink (or, if you don't drink, your favorite drink or dessert) and I'll pick a first place winner to receive a $10 gift card to the ebook retailer of their choice and a second place winner who will get their choice of ebooks from my back list.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I can't drink yet, so my favorite dessert is Apple pie with Ice Cream.

Christine Leov-Lealand said...

Grasshopper is my fave alcoholic drink.
Add to crushed ice creme de menthe, creme de cacao and 2 measures of cream. Shake and strain into a martini glass.
mmmmmm

Pippa Jay said...

I used to have blue curacao with a certain brand of vodkha and some lemonade which would turn it green - I called it a Green Goddess. Wish I could remember what vodkha it was - clearly drank too many of them to remember that bit. :-P

I don't really have a St.Pattys day tradition (other then wearing green since I am part irish lol) but I plan on going out with friends tomorrow to a local pub for a party!

I guess I like the holiday alright. I make sure I wear green that's for damn sure lol.

Great post!

Happy St. Patricks Day (One day early)

Mt favorite drink, when I could drink, was a rootbeer barrel. I know that doesn't really qulaify as a mixed drink, but I'm a beer kinda girl. It is super easy to make. Shot glass of rootbeer schnapps in a low ball glass filled with beer. Yum!

I make up an Irish Cream Cremosa or any other flavor Cremosa for family and friends who come over. Everyone's drinks sound pretty good, but I do have an aversion to drinking something bright green so I'd be afraid to try your drink. (-:

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I am not Irish, so I don't really celebrate, especially after having children. When I do drink though, I like JollyRanchers! They are pretty much all alcohol, but taste just like the candy. My favorite flavor is Watermelon and Strawberry mixed. Yummy! Your drink is pretty funny. I should try it sometime.
