Check out these green drinks that you can offer your customers on St. Paddy's Day!
Now that you have stocked up on green wholesale to-go containers, it's time to think about the best St. Patrick's Day-inspired beverages for your loyal customers this February and March.
Of course, they will have to be green as well, and creating drinks in this color is pretty easy. With the use of different ingredients in this color, you can come up with a new set of festive limited-edition beverages. Also, their ingredients are readily available in a boba supply store near you.
Here are five St. Patrick's Day-inspired drinks that you might want to consider offering your customers:
#1 Shamrock Mint Shake
#2 St. Patrick's Day Float Surprise
#3 Green Apple Mocktail
#4 Peppermint Patty Chocolate Milk Tea
#5 Leprechaun's Rainbow
#1 Shamrock Mint Shake
The Shamrock Mint Shake is basically an ice cream shake but with a creamy green color. Kids and adults can enjoy this minty treat that is very easy to make with just four ingredients. It's not made of shamrocks, but its green color is reminiscent of the three-lobed leaved plant.
Here are the ingredients you'll need to create the Shamrock Mint Shake:
* Mint chocolate chip ice cream, the green-colored one
* Milk
* 1883 Maison Routin Green Mint Syrup
* Green candy sprinkles
Here are the directions for creating the Shamrock Mint Shake:
Add the green mint chocolate chip ice cream to a blender, then add the milk. You can thicken it by using less milk and adding more green color by adding some green mint syrup. Once done, pour into a cup and drizzle the top with the mint syrup. Finish by topping it off with green candy sprinkles or shamrock-shaped candies.
#2 St. Patrick's Day Float Surprise
This drink is the best to enjoy while watching St. Paddy's parades. Just as the floats are fun to watch, this drink is quite enjoyable too. And it's not just any float because it comes with a crystal boba surprise at the bottom that adds more texture to the drink. St Patrick's Day Float Surprise is a fun, unique take on the classic float beverage.
Here are the ingredients for the St. Patrick's Day Float Surprise:
* Lemon-lime carbonated drink
* Vanilla ice cream
* Torani Lime Syrup
* White Crystal Boba
Here are the directions for creating the St. Patrick's Day Float Surprise:
Pour the lemon-lime carbonated drink into a cup, then add the lime syrup. Stir to create the beautiful bright green color and lime scent, then add some helping of the white crystal boba. Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You have the option to drizzle more of the green lime syrup on top.
#3 Green Apple Mocktail
Mocktails are perfect to offer your customers the unique taste of a mixed drink without the effects of alcohol. Aside from that, you can offer it to your younger customers and make them feel special because they are allowed to drink something fancy on St. Paddy's Day.
Here are the ingredients for the Green Apple Mocktail:
* Lemon-lime carbonated drink
* Fresh lemonade
* Tea Zone Green Apple Syrup
* Cherry
Here are the directions for creating the Green Apple Mocktail:
Pour the carbonated drink, fresh lemonade, and green apple syrup into a shaker. After vigorously shaking, strain the drink into a cup -- or cocktail glass for dine-in customers to make the drink look fancier. Finish off by dropping a fresh cherry at the bottom.
#4 Peppermint Patty Chocolate Milk Tea
Peppermint and green tea are among the most popular herbal tea blends today and become even more special when you add the sweetness of chocolate and the creaminess of milk. You get the health benefits of both tea in a fun, refreshing way. And because it comes in creamy green color, it’s an ideal St. Patrick’s Day beverage too.
Here are the ingredients of the Peppermint Patty Chocolate Milk Tea:
* Tea Zone Premium Jasmine Green Tea Leaves
* Milk
* Monin Green Mint Syrup
* DaVinci Sugar-Free Peppermint Syrup
* Ice cubes
* Chopped dark chocolate
Here are the directions for creating the Peppermint Patty Chocolate Milk Tea:
Brew some green tea. Once it cools down, pour into the blender, add milk, the green mint syrup for color, the peppermint syrup, and ice cubes. Pour into a cup after blending and garnish with chopped dark chocolate.
#5 Leprechaun's Rainbow
Rainbows are also associated with St. Paddy's Day because leprechauns are believed to find a pot of gold at both ends of it. So if you want to offer a limited-edition drink in multiple colors, this is the perfect one to go for.
Here are the ingredients you'll need to create the Leprechaun's Rainbow:
* Tea Zone Rainbow Popping Pearls
* Lemon-lime carbonated drink
* Monin Lime Syrup
* Whipped cream
* Tea Zone Rainbow Mini Mochi
Here are the directions for creating the Leprechaun's Rainbow:
Put a generous amount of rainbow popping pearls into a cup. Pour the lemon-lime carbonated drink, add the clear lime syrup, then stir. Top off with a dollop of whipped cream. You can sprinkle some rainbow mini mochi on top to add more texture.
