Taste the Rainbow Cocktail – St. Patrick’s Day Drink
Even though this cocktail isn’t for kids on St. Patricks Day, you can make it a mocktail and leave out the vodka. 
March 17th was my late fathers birthday and I always remember him saying he didn’t have to wear green to protect himself from being pinched. I tried using that excuse, but it didn’t work.
Other than celebrating my father’s birthday, there wasn’t much attention given to St. Patricks Day, other than… wear green.
Once I had my son, it still never occurred to me to celebrate, until I picked him up from pre-school one day and he was so excited that the leprechaun had visited the night before and left green glitter everywhere in the classroom!
That’s all it took. The idea was born.
I knew I didn’t want green glitter thrown around my house, but every year after that the pesky leprechaun would visit during the night and mess things up. He would stack all the sofa pillows, or bring the scooter or bicycle into the house. One year he was extra pesky and tipped a chair over! But he always hid gold coins and a box of Lucky Charms for a fun treat.
Now that my son is 20, we have fun talking about how surprised he was every year and yes, he still gets a box of cereal too.
Celebrate the Silly!
