St. Patrick's Day
This is how to make green beer. A handy tip!
Green Beer
One 12oz. Beer - Any beer will do although lighter colored beers will display the green better.
Add one to two drops of green food coloring.
Since I do not drink beer, dear readers, I found these great looking drinks for you here.
They sure do look great!
