The Green Patrick
The Green Patrick is a cocktail that was originally made to be drunk on St. Patricks Day but I decided it can be drunk any time of year. I am so excited to share this green and delicious take on the Bloody Mary.
Seriously, this green Bloody Mary has a lot of vitamins in it and will make you feel fully recovered after a big night out. It’s basically green juice minus the kale and the addition of vodka! It has roasted tomatillos which are so good in combination with cucumber and parsley. So, share with friends and drink this tangy boozy Green Partick.
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces vodka
- 2 ounces lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of green olive juice
- ½ tablespoon of seasoned rice vinegar
- 5 tomatillos, quartered and peeled from the husk

- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
- 4 green olives (2 used for the garnish)
- ½ tablespoon green jalapeño hot sauce
- 3 sprigs of parsley
- ½ English cucumber, peeled (extra for garnish)
- 1 jalapeño, quartered (optional: extra jalapeño for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Method:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and toss tomatillos with salt and olive oil
- Place tomatillos on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes
