Bonnie, I agree that Sex on the Beach is a great drink, but I haven't had one on St. Patrick's Day. I have had the traditinal green beer, though.
I'm thirsty. I going out to look for an Irish bar! Very nice. Erin go bragh!
My father was the first Murphy to break the Irish drinking trend in my family, so I must try the Lucky Limey for my "Plastic Paddy" celebrations this year. After all who doesn't need a little more luck? At least I know the "Limey" won't leave me "green" in the mornin'.
Cheers, n St patricks day greetings to all!
William, Irish pubs are the best!
In the Doghouse, Lucky Limeys are really good. I hope you enjoy them.
Compusmart, same to you and as William says Erin go bragh!
Erin go Bragh!
At work we are getting Shamrock cookies on Monday. I know because I'm the one who ordered them :)
Shamrock cookies, sounds good. Lucky you! Happy St Patrick's Day!
