Forget green beer. This St. Patrick’s Day, celebrate with a creative cocktail. We’re loving this Luck of the Irish cocktail recipe from Eddie Garcia, lead mixologist and manager at jade bar at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa. The cocktail gets its luck o’ the Irish from Guinness simple syrup and Irish whiskey. You’ll love it on March 17—and all year long. Cheers!
