I found this St. Patrick’s Day drink recipe and HAD TO SHARE.
It’s so girlie and fun. Plus it has no Guinness… for those of us who don’t drink Guinnes and love Pinot.
First, who knew Drew Barrymore made wine?
Not me. But now I need to try it.
She “fell in love with wine by drinking it with [her] girlfriends on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings”….. UM YES.
“My girlfriends and I like chilled, easy-drinking wine that you can have one to two or two to three glasses of, and it’s not so heavy.”
Like this is right up our alley. OKAY enough chit chat onto the drink.
THANK GOODNESS FOR COSMO. Always giving me the best info. I saw this Emerald Isle recipe and knew we’d love it.
