Because we keep it classy at Simple Cocktails, the arrival of St. Patrick’s Day is more a reason to turn our drinking attention on the products of Ireland briefly, and less of a reason to dye things green and drink terrible beer.

Caramel Guinness

• In a frozen pint glass, pour a shot (1 1/2 oz) of caramel liqueur (common brands include Lovoka and Godiva). Top with very cold Guinness Draught. Sláinte!
