St. Patrick's Day Blogathon - Cocktails & Cooking for Two
If you're planning on a more intimate gathering for St. Patrick's Day, be sure to check out these Irish cocktail recipes and recipes for cooking for two from Colleen Graham, About's Cocktails Guide, and Kevin Weeks, About's Cooking for Two Guide:

• This Irish Martini recipe transforms your favorite Vodka Martini into a lucky libation.
• Everybody's Irish is a cocktail that Colleen said, "will get everyone in the spirit of the Irish." It contains Irish whiskey and it's green.
• Kevin said, "There is nothing more Irish than Guinness. Made using water from the Liffey River, it is one of the most famous beers (specifically a "stout") in the world." He suggested using it as ingredient in Steak and Guinness Pie, a staple of English and Irish pub fare, and buying a few extra pints to pair with your meal for two.
• Corning your own beef takes some advance planning, but it's easy to make and delicious.
