Celebrate all things Irish with this creamy mint rum cocktail
A creamy, indulgent sweet treat cocktail
Bushwacker Shamrock Cocktail

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, you'll find lots of bars stocking up on the Guinness and the Irish whiskeys -- but there are other options out there for a celebration. If you're looking for something sweet, delicious, and dessert-like, then you can turn to a different sort of drink for your party, like this milkshake-inspired offering which would make a fun after-dinner drink for those with an enthusiastic sweet tooth and a love of all things rich, smooth, and creamy.

The cocktail comes from Bushwacker Spirits, and makes use of the brand's Rum Cream. It's an easy cocktail to make, blending together the rum cream with mint chocolate chip ice cream for creamy, minty flavors -- and of course to be sufficiently celebratory for all things Irish, it also adds a few drops of green food coloring for a fun hue.

While we love the traditional cocktail fruit flavors of lemon, lime, and strawberry, sometimes you're after something different. If you're interested in taking your cocktails in a new direction this season, you can follow the trends for spring flavors by incorporating exotic fruits into your drinks.

The guava is a juicy tropical fruit commonly found in South and Central America, and it has attractive pink flesh as well as a sweet, pear-like flavor with a floral or vanilla hint to it. It's a great partner for tequila, with its fruity flavors, so the team at Espolòn Tequila have come up with a cocktail featuring the two in combination.
