st. patrick’s day cocktails!

you may know by now i try to be a no-fuss celebrator!  so i’m always enamored with a practically effortless table of party goodies and decorations!

sparkling shamrock cocktails

…so EASY and a delicious compliment to lucky cupcakes on a simple treat table!

all you need to make them~

Midori, melon flavored liqueur

prosecco or sparkling wine (brut is best to counter the sweet liqueur, unless you love sweet!)

melon wedges

swizzle sticks, optional

i poured the Midori into a tiny pitcher so guests could add as much or little as they liked…but a simple splash will do!

i cut a honeydew melon into wedges and threaded them onto decorative skewers.  you could also thread melon balls…but i found the wedges to be easier & quicker!

guests can grab a flute and mix their own St. Patrick’s Day cocktail!  it’s such a pretty color don’t you think?

extra wine glasses are for any guests who want a simple vino instead!  i love these cuties i picked up a few seasons ago!

simple sweets!

this cocktail is great paired with a dessert…

light & airy vanilla cupcakes topped with some lucky gold are just the right amount of sweetness!

a chocolate coin, oversized confetti and green sprinkles make a perfect holiday crown!

easy extras!

a party table can get festive quick with the simplest things!  a tiny bow with a shamrock tucked in makes a darling AND easy detail on the stand…

cute paper napkins are useful and can double duty as part of the decor!

and a big balloon never hurts!  i love that you can find these fun decorations almost anywhere now…and for just a few dollars!

sweet & easy sparkling shamrock cocktails can help you say…

“cheers” to the holiday!
