When we think of spring, we imagine everything go bright, fresh and green. Even the cocktails!

Since March is all about celebrating and welcoming the change of seasons, we thought it would be a good idea to share some easy to make and yummy green cocktail recipes! These ideas are perfect for those who want to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with a bang but don’t want to just drink green beer. Cheers!

Green Cocktail Recipes for Spring

1. Green Apple Ginger Martini

  • 4 oz/120ml ginger infused vodka (recipe below)
  • 4 oz/120ml fresh green apple lime juice (recipe below)
  • 1 Tablespoon/15ml maple or honey simple syrup (made by mixing equal parts of maple syrup or honey with filtered water until fully dissolved)
  • Crushed ice

Add the apple and lime juice, the vodka and the maple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice and shake vigorously until the shaker turns frosty. Strain into the chilled glasses. Garnish with the reserved apple slices if desired.

2. Minty Pear Mojito

  • 2 cup peeled and chopped pears
  • 3/4 cup fresh mint leaves (about 5-7 mint leaves per drink)
  • 3-4 tablespoons agave nectar (You can also use simple syrup instead (equal parts sugar and water, heated on the stovetop)
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 5 ounces good quality white rum or vodka
  • 6 cups club soda

Place the chopped pears, mint leaves, agave nectar, and lime juice in the bottom of your pitcher (you can also make this in individual glasses. This recipe is for four glasses, so just quarter the recipe for one glass) and muddle the ingredients to combine the flavors.Pour in liquor and club soda and stir slowly to combine. Pour over ice and serve! Top with more fresh mint or lime wedges.
