Looks yummy – but I can’t have anything that has alcohol due to the meds I take for my heart. Darn! So enjoy the recipes and your comments, Lisa.

Can you make this drink in a pitcher and have it nice and cold for guests. We love it. Just had our first one!
Yeah! That should work. I would just wait to add ice until served then. Glad you enjoyed it!

We had about 25 people for St patricks day. We mixed the ingredients together, put into 3 pitchers in the refrigerator. Hired a bartender and all he had to do was shake and pour. The guests loved and the leprechaun bartender. Easy peezy

How would I compute the amount of ingredients for a half gallon drink container?
Thank you
You can click on the slider in the recipe card and go to 10 drinks which would be about 62.5 ounces. Or just multiple each ingredient by ten. Hope this helps!

I tried this drink at a diner in Boston and fell in love with it. I want to make it at home. Thank you for this recipe. Question about the Curacao, is it the liquor form or syrup, etc?
So glad you found it!
We use the liquor form of blue Curaçao in all our recipes.
Enjoy!
