Spring may be right around the corner but it sure doesn’t feel like it. And if these cold temps are totally throwing you for a loop (i.e. you forgot about next weekend’s St. Patricks Day celebrations), we can’t blame you.

Fortunately, there’s a cocktail that will transport you to summer patio-style sipping and will help you get into the Irish jig spirit: The Green Tea Margarita. This St. Patrick’s themed marg is made with a Zen Green Tea Liqueur. Here’s where to find it around town and how to make it for yourself.

Buy It

Enough’s enough – if you’re looking to brave the cold and get out of the house, we recommend heading to Haru. The Back Bay restaurant is located street level below the Shops at Prudential Center – and serves up some very creative cocktails, including this St. Patrick’s themed libation.

Make It

But if the cold is just too much (and we can’t blame you) then why not bring some summertime margaritas to your very own kitchen. Haru has provided us with their Green Tea Margarita recipe (below). Let us know how it turns out at home!
