Luck O' The Irish Cocktails for St. Patrick's Day
Mark Thompson READ TIME: 2 MIN.
In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, Voli Spirits teamed up with Refine Mixers to create a specialty cocktail, the "Irish Isle."
There's also the Margarita Green, for those who prefer the luck o' the tequila.
Both cocktails are under 100 calories and are naturally sweetened with stevia.
Trust, these are the ultimate "skinny cocktails" to be indulging in on this lucky day.
And if you are lucky enough to be in Los Angeles for St. Patrick's Day, this green cocktail will be available at Confidential Beverly Hills nightclub during club hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday during the week of St. Patrick's Day.
Guests who mention the password "Leprechaun" to Confidential's concierge will be given a golden ticket which they may redeem at the bar for a complimentary "Irish Isle" cocktail.
