Murphy's Irish Wake, Murphy's Irish Pub, Virginia Beach

 

With the Shamrock Marathon happening this weekend, we can’t help but get into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit! The 2019 Yuengling Shamrock Marathon, first held in 1973, takes place on Sunday, March 17 at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. All participants are encouraged to wear green as they run through the scenic streets of Virginia Beach. But luckily, the fun doesn’t stop there. We’ve rounded up six of our favorite ways to keep the festive spirit going after the race.

St. Patrick's Day is hardly a celebration without a green cocktail.  But don't let the name of this cocktail deter you- it is a nod to the trash can garnish. The cocktail is made with curacao, gin, rum, peach schnapps, triple sec, vodka and Red Bull. It will have you ready to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day, or any occasion really, in no time at all.
