This St. Patrick's Day, skip the green beer because I've got a festive and fun Lucky Leprechaun Rum Punch cocktail for you to try!
St. Patrick's Day Punch
I made a Lucky Leprechaun Rum Punch rimmed with crushed Lucky Charms and packed with sparkling pineapple-citrus punch.
It's easy to make and can also be made non-alcoholic if you are having a St. Patrick's Day party for kids. Either way it's a fun green drink to serve the Leprechauns in your life.
Personally, the leprechaun in my house would prefer to just eat the cereal but that's ok, more punch for me! Be sure to read down to the end of this post for links and photos of all 8 of the other cocktails from my friends.

I can't even. These are SO adorable and completely creative! The Lucky Charms rim makes me want to go out and revisit that cereal - it was such a treat for me, when I was little...and when my mom would actually let me have some. 🙂 Cheers!
Leah Bergman says
Thanks Jayme! I was never allowed to have fun cereal like this so I totally binged on it in college! Lucky Charms were some of my favorites. 😉

Thanks Katie! It would be fun to make for a family party with all of the kids. (Obviously minus the alcohol.)

This is such a fun round-up! And I think I can find some cereal after our party this weekend! Thinking we may try a few of these cocktails!
Leah Bergman says
Yay! I know I speak for all of us when I say, we hope you WILL try a few of the cocktails! Personally, I wish I could taste test all of them. Just a sip or two. 😉
