7 Lucky Feel Good St Patrick's Day Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

St Patrick’s day is one of the days of the year most renowned for drinking alcohol. What originated as a feast to mark the death of Irish patron saint Patrick, has become a day of parades, parties, shamrocks and booze. So what if you want to join in the fun and themed cocktails but don’t want to drink copious amounts of alcohol? 

Then JOMO have you covered with some thematic alcohol-free St Patrick’s day mocktail recipes. Whether you are hosting a St. Paddy's Day party or bringing a cocktail to a party, you can have a great day while feeling fresh the next day.

1. Black Velvet Mocktail

This Black Velvet alcohol-free cocktail is a celebration of Guinness with a slight twist. This can be made in two ways: the traditional Black Velvet cocktail, or the “poor man’s” Black Velvet cocktail, otherwise known as the snakebite.

Ingredients

• 0% Guinness

• Noughty's alcohol-free sparkling Chardonnay or a non-alc sparkling of your choice
  

Method

1. Half-fill a flute with 0% chilled Guinness.

2. Slowly top this with half a glass of chilled Noughty or the bubbly or your choice, depending on which tickles your fancy more!

2. Irish Guinness Float

A St Patrick’s day dessert to surprise and delight your guests. The perfect, creamy, Guinness-filled dessert drink. Think of an Affogato, but with Guinness & a 0% spirit.

Ingredients

• 0% Guinness

• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream

• 50ml of Feragaia 0% Spirit

• A scoop of whipped cream

• Grated chocolate

Method

1. Fill a glass with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream. If you are using a slightly bigger glass you can always add more scoops. 

2. Pour the 0% Guinness into the glass over the top of the ice cream. 

3. Add the Feragaia to the whipping cream and whip to your preferred consistency.

4. Top with a spoon or more of whipped cream. 

5. Grate the chocolate or add chocolate shavings over the top. Dig into your decadent St Patrick’s day drink. You might need a spoon!

3. Green Bloody Mary 

The Bloody Mary is a classic cocktail, and easy to turn into an alcohol-free cocktail. But, although it is named after a previous monarch of England and Ireland, it doesn’t feel very St Paddy’s appropriate. That is unless you make the green variant of a Blood Mary.

This recipe can be made with a range of ingredients, so you really can use what you have on hand.

Ingredients (for 2 drinks)

• 3 medium-sized green tomatoes

• 200 grams yellow cherry tomatoes

• 1/2 Jalapeno (more or less depending on personal preference

• 1/2 stalk of celery

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tbsp horseradish

• 1 sprig parsley

• 1/2 tsp green hot sauce

• Plenty of salt and pepper to taste

• 200ml shots of Mahala Botanical 

Or - you can use Marty's Ready to Drink Virgin Mary to avoid making from scratch!

Method

1. Add all your ingredients except for the Mahala to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

2. Strain this mixture through a sieve or mesh and get rid of the solids (or use them in another recipe).

3. Put ice and 100ml of Mahala Botanical into a Highball or Collins glass.

4. Add your green tomato mixture into the glass and stir to mix. Season with any last-minute salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce and then garnish with a stick of celery.

4. Shamrock Sour

This puts an Irish twist on a classic Whiskey Sour cocktail.
