Leprachaun Love and Drambuie Dreams

St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday where I tend to embrace the culture, festivities and cocktail choices of a nationality other than my own. From Irish Car Bombs (obviously coming from years and years of Gaelic tradition) to green beer, there is something that comes over people on this leprechaun loving day. This year SPD has taken on a more sophisticated appearance courtesy of Drambuie Brand Ambassador (and extremely talented mixologist) Anthony Caporale. With use of Drambuie’s unique mixture of aged Scotch whiskies, heather honey and blend of herbs and spices to perfection. These cocktails offer a delicious complement to any St. Patrick’s Day celebration! ENJOY!
