The luck of the Irish brought me to a group of incredibly creative and talented bloggers who always inspire. While our styles vary, our love for cocktails do not. We have teamed up to bring you an array of St. Patrick’s Day cocktails to help you celebrate in great taste. I don’t drink a lot of hard alcohol, so my cocktail contribution is an easy sip perfect for day drinking like showers, birthdays, brunches and of course, St. Patty’s day. I blended champagne, simple syrup and lemon juice to make a refreshing Sparkling Lemonade aka Shot of Gold.
There’s nothing better at the end of the rainbow or long day than a Shot of Gold. So grab a glass, rim it with sugar and let’s do this!

I wish I could get together with my talented friends to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but I suppose our little cocktail party will have to do. I look forward to trying these new St. Patty’s Day sips!

I like how you rimmed it with the gold sugar. But even more so, that plant is just perfect for the shoot! It looks like a large three-leaf clover!
This drink is (almost) too pretty to drink! That gold rim, ooh la la!
Aw, I wish we all could actually get together to celebrate as well! Beautiful cocktail Julie. xo
This sounds amazing! I am really partial to champagne cocktails and I love how simple this one is…plus anything with lemon is a winner for me!
I feel like I could have one of these right now…
