If you want to branch out from green beer on St. Patrick’s Day, try one of the recipes linked to this post. They work great for parties because they can be made with or without alcohol, per each guest’s preference, and also guests can have fun adding their favorite garnishes.

The Pomegranate Sparkle is perfect if you are looking for something light, refreshing and beautiful. The recipe suggests some proportions, and you can make it fruitier and more or less sweet if you choose.

The piña colada is perfect for guests because it is a bit fancy, and the base recipe does not include rum. It’s a creamy treat for everyone, and those who wish to do so may spike their piña colada with rum.

For the chocolate option, well, who doesn’t like chocolate? And this chocolate includes protein. Fair warning: if you try garnishing the chocolate with a squirt of whipped cream and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg, you may become hooked, and you may start adding whipped cream with freshly grated nutmeg to all sorts of drinks, cakes, pies and muffins.

For a fun child’s tea party, try the chocolate milk with sprinkles and some mini oreos and mini fudge stripes.
