With the right tools and a perfect serving tray, these quick and easy St. Patrick’s Day drinks are sure to get your guests into the celebrating mood.

Shamrock Juice

First on our list is this very simple drink made with juice and a pure Irish touch. Citrus juice is a safe choice for larger gatherings, as it’s commonly enjoyed by all. Put in a little extra love by slicing up fresh oranges or limes on your wood cutting board and sliding them onto the edge of each glass, making them classy and presentable! Keep in mind that when mixing green colouring into anything, such as orange juice, you might not end up with the shade of green you desire.
