I’m excited to welcome Melissa of Glisten & Grace Design to the blog today with an awesome St. Patrick’s Day-inspired recipe!
In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day this month, I thought I’d share with you a cocktail recipe that has a pub feel, keeps things classy, and leaves the green beer at home.
Before we get our mixology on, I want to take you back to the first time I tried this cocktail. I was in my last month living in my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky and wanted to try out a few new places before I moved. I heard about Gralehaus, a small cafe with German roots and knew it needed to be on my list of places to try.
One weekday summer morning, a friend and I decided to brunch there. Seeing the beermosa on their drink menu, my curiosity was piqued and I had to try it. It made for a delicious pairing with my entree choice of house-made lamb sausage and grits. After moving to California, I realized that this cocktail has become a standard in the gastropub culinary scenes of the Midwest, but has yet to make it to the West Coast. Cheers and Happy St. Patty’s Day!
