We're green with envy over these beef and Guinness hand pies, they're the perfect finger (or hand) food for your St Patrick's Day party! Check out the full recipe and instructions here. We're all about the Guinness in your savoury treats, and these steak skewers are no exception! Simply boil up your Guinness (keep your eye on it to prevent it from burning), thread your beef onto skewers and then brush on your Guinness while grilling. Easy and delicious!

Shamrocktails

Let's get down to the fun bit, cocktails! If you really can't bear the thought of drinking Guinness all night, why not try your hand at these easy St Patrick Day-inspired cocktail recipes. Starting with The Irish Mule, a twist on the classic Moscow Mule, all you need is Irish whisky, ginger beer, lime, mint, ice, and some trendy cocktail cups if you have any (how cute are those copper mugs?!). Next up, wet your whistle with this Guinness black magic cocktail, sounds interesting right? I mean, you can't celebrate St Patrick's Day without one Guinness-based drink! Simply mix together Guinness, bourbon, grenadine, some lime juice and garnish with some blackberries and lime wedges. Check out the full cocktail recipe here.
