St. Patrick's Day is almost here, and that means downing lots of green beer — not! Beer and food coloring are not supposed to mix, so drop that.

There are so many great libations for toasting to Saint Patrick besides the Shamrock Shake and grass-hued Bud.

Here are eight drinks that will help you celebrate St. Paddy's Day properly.
