Easy St. Patrick’s Day Mocktails Your Kids will Love

Once you’ve planned the St. Patrick’s Day sweet treats, it’s time to start thinking about the beverages! And for that, we have you covered with these fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day mocktails.

These drinks are great for kids and adults alike so everyone can get in on the fun. They’re easy to make, too. All you need is a few simple ingredients and some creative touches – no shamrocks necessary!

St. Patrick’s Day is a day full of food, games, and lots of fun. And while I love a good printable St. Patrick’s Day game as much as the next person, it’s always good to stay refreshed with some party drinks that are just as fun and colorful as the day is.

Stick with green drinks, or go wild with something rainbow themed…either way, these drinks will add plenty of luck and cheer to your day.

Make your Mocktails even more fun!

Take things up a notch with these ideas:

  • Acrylic martini and margarita glasses feel grown-up without being a safety hazard
  • Work off the energy first with a quick St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt or some free printable St. Patrick’s Day charades.
  • Stock up on sprinkles in rainbow colors, gold glitter, or green shimmer to rim your glasses. Don’t forget to add a cute straw
  • Garnish a frosty or milk drink with charms marshmallows (warning: they’re addictive!)
  • Set up a drink station with a fun St. Patrick’s Day sign plus plenty of ingredients to let your kids create their own special mocktail.

Lucky You!

Make St. Patrick’s Day magically delightful with a treasure trove of printable goodies – including printable games, tags and bag toppers, party decorations, and art prints to make everyone in your home pinch proof. Check it all out right here.

    Having read this I believed it was extremely informative.
    I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this
    article together. I once again find myself personally spending
    a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments.

    But so what, it was still worthwhile!
