St Patricks Day Drink

Hey party peeps!
One of our fellow P4P’ers asked me a couple weeks ago for ideas for her child’s classroom. She was in charge of bringing drinks for the class’ St Patrick’s Day party. Since everyone knows it’s a full-blown green day (and I’m not talking about the band), she wanted something in that hue.
I suggested a couple options for a St Patricks Day drink to her but I preferred the green milk suggestion. I know…sounds tasty, huh?

I guess we could call it leprechaun juice.

This is a fun St Patrick’s Day treat for just one child or a whole classroom full. One of the best parts about it? You probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen!

Start out with 8 oz or 1 cup of milk. This is for an individual drink. Multiply the amount based on number of drinks. I used Almond Milk and it turned out great. You can, of course, use regular milk too.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the milk. I mixed mine in our magic bullet but you can also use a regular blender for multiple drinks.

Add 1 teaspoon of clear vanilla. Don’t add dark vanilla because it will tint the milk.

You’re going to “tint” the milk with green food coloring. Add 1 to 2 drops of the food coloring.

Mix in the blender or magic bullet until the sugar is dissolved.

Cheers!

I used an old frappuccino bottle for my green milk glass. The “Happy St Patrick’s Day” tag on the bottle are printables I made and am sharing them with you. And then I found the ribbon at the craft store for a fun addition.
