If you are looking to make a few cocktails before your night out on St. Paddy’s Day, here is a quick Honeydew Martini recipe that will knock your socks offs. St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Thursday (March 17) this year, so do not drink too hard, because everyone still has work the next day.

 

Recipe

3 ounces vodka

1/2 ounce Midori

1/2 ounce triple sec

 

Mix the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and serve in a chilled martini glass. Also, do not forget to add an orange slice to garnish the cocktail. Drink up. Remember to stay responsible and never drink and drive. Just order an Uber instead.
