#HappyHour – St. Patty’s Pre-Game
Saint Patrick’s Day might still be a few days away but that doesn’t mean we can’t get the party started a little bit early! While some might get their Shamrock party on via McDonald’s Shamrock Shake, I want something with a little more zing, enter in the Bourbon Tarragon Cooler. And since we all need something to nosh on, try this Irish Soda Bread scones. Get all the deets about how to make this cocktail and scones below.
