Isn’t this faux cocktail recipe absolutely beautiful? Not only is it pretty, but it is so yummy – like drinking the filling inside a York Peppermint Patty! This gorgeous green is accomplished by a mix of Creme de Menthe and Limonata. This Crème de Menthe Mocktail Recipe is a perfect treat for Saint Patrick’s Day, a baby shower, or just an afternoon goodie for a child that has had a rough or special day.
