Irish Flag Jello Shots & Mojitos: Katie & Denis
With her Irish heritage, Katie brought some true "Go Green" spirit to our St. Patty's Day celebration! Since it was the first time we had a Saturday night Culinary Couples at Ann & Jason's, we took advantage and started the night off right with some Irish Flag jello shots!
To follow, Katie & Denis made one of our favorite green drinks - Mojitos! We kept Katie pretty busy for the first part of the evening, drinking the delicious Mojitos about as fast as should could make them!
And we can't forget the Green Flash IPA, Green Flash Hop Head Red, as well as the festive green bottled beers - Heineken & Stella!
