St. Patrick's Day Green Beer


A St. Patrick's Day party isn't complete without green beer! Here is a recipe for how to make it without the beer getting flat.
Start with a light colored beer. The light the beer, the brighter the color. Dark beer needs more green to get the same color. To much food coloring will turn your teeth green and you don't want that!(not very attractive)
The Secret To Avoid Flat Beer:
Start with a large frosty beer mug. Squeeze 3 to 4 drops of green food coloring into mug.(from a small squeeze bottle of food coloring) Slowly pour beer from a 12oz. can or 16 oz. bottle into glass. Watch color mix as beer goes in. Want more color, add another drop or 2 of food coloring.
It is very important to put food coloring in first, as you don't want to stir the beer, because that is what makes it go flat. I know this is true, I've made that mistake in the past.
