Needing a little last minute St. Patty's day festives? I have just the thing for you.
Mocktails! In green, no less.
You see, after overdoing it the last couple weeks I probably could use a real cocktail. But we Mormons settle for mocktials, which I think is actually code for dessert in a liquid form. And guys, these mocktails actually turned out delicious and refreshing. They are lime-y and mint-y and yum-y.
And they are of course all green.
