We’re coming down to the wire, kids. St. Patrick’s Day is now only 5 days away, and if your hometown is anything like ours in Buffalo, the party will begin as soon as the weekend does. If you haven’t yet decided on which beverages you’ll be imbibing in for the holiday, don’t fret. I’ve got a slew of stout cocktails here that even Arthur Guinness himself would dig… and not just your run-of-the-mill Black and Tans, either.

All-Irish Black and Tan
½ pint chilled Guinness Draught
½ pint chilled Smithwick’s Irish Ale

Fill a pint glass just over halfway with Smithwick’s Ale. Place your black & tan spoon on the rim of the glass and slowly pour your Guinness Draught over it, being careful not to mix. Let the head settle and enjoy.

Have any other Guinness cocktails worth giving a try for St. Patrick’s Day? Pass ‘em along!

This just in from a Twitter friend of mine, SneakerKing (not sure of the drink’s name, so I’ll get creative):

Guinness on the Wing
½ pint of Guinness
½ pint of Red Bull

Fill your pint glass halfway with Guinness. Carefully add the Red Bull so it doesn’t foam up out of your glass. Drink and repeat.
