Holy moly, I had green beer last night!

BRIGHT green. It was the oddest thing to drink, especially because it still tasted like the icky tap Busch our local bar offers.

A reminder: For those of you who like Baileys, try Bushmill's Irish Cream. Even better.

I don't do beer, can anyone recommend a green drink that isn't beer?

Melon cocktails: they are made with Midori and Vodka and are delicious!

My favorite part of St. Paddy's day in Butte (where it's like Mardi Gras and Christmas in one) was seeing people puke green beer.

A midori sour should be very green and non-beery. A Green Spider is kinda potent, yet green (it contains Bacardi 151, though).

There's also:
1. A Little Green Man From Mars
2. Green Angel
3. Green Card
4. Green Demon
5. Green Demon #2
6. Green Dragon
7. Green Eyes
8. Green Frog
9. Green Froggy
10. Green Goblin
11. Green Goblin Cocktail
12. Green Hulk
13. Green Iguana Margarita
14. Green Island
15. Green Lizard
16. Green Slime
17. Green Tide
18. Little Green Frog
19. Mean Green Love Making Machine

i love irish carbombs. for those of you that don't know:

-you pour half a pint of guiness
-in a shot glass combine half bailey's irish cream and half jameson's irish whiskey.
-drop the shot glass into the pint glass and chug as fast as you can.

make sure to drink it fast, because if you don't it will curdle. it tastes yummy yummy yummy. kind of like chocolate milkshake beer.

A bit of a waste of half a pint of Guinness though.

EDIT: Though at least the other half of a pint is still uncorrupted. [Smile]

Hah! yeah, I'm a regular where I go. I get free shots and beer now and then, but I never expect it to be done. The management at the bar will also pay me in beers if I happen to do something for them. Say, like, pull a roll of toilet paper out of the toilet for them. I made sure not to get my hand all soiled on this one. An' I washed afterwards. The only thing I was thinking was that I got a free beer for it.

Tipping: Beer has always been a dollar a bottle. Most shots are the same as far as tipping goes. It changes when I switch to water (I'm a social drinker, not a drunk). The bartenders at the bar get confused at first when I tip about 2 or 3 bucks on a bottle of water.

It's sacriligious, vonk. And it's absolute hell for the bartender to clean, lemme tell ya.

Blegh.

Grasshoppers aren't bad for a green drink.

1/2 oz Green Creme de Menthe
1/2 oz White Creme de Cacao
2 oz cream
normally served in a stemmed glass, no ice

Green hornets aren't too bad either.

1 1/2 oz Brandy
1/2 oz Green Creme de Menthe
served on rocks
