We found a fun way to have a green pint at home!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What You&#8217;ll Need<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your favorite light colored beer<\/li>\n<li>Liquid green food coloring<\/li>\n<li>A clear pint glass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How To<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place 3 drops of green food coloring in the pint glass.<\/li>\n<li> Pour beer into glass. The food coloring will mix with the beer.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to mix a bit, you can use a stirrer. But make sure not to stir too much &#8211; don&#8217;t want to flatten the beer!<\/li>\n<li> Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>A Few Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We liked the green color after 3 drops of food coloring. But add an extra drop or two if you&#8217;d like a deeper color. The more food coloring you add, the greener the color will be. <\/li>\n<li>Use liquid green food coloring rather than gel food coloring. The liquid dissolves right away. And, to us the gel added a slight, not so nice, aftertaste to the beer.<\/li>\n<li>Use a light colored beer. Dark beer works but it becomes a much darker green (not as appealing to the eye). Plus, you&#8217;ll need to use more food coloring and we&#8217;d be afraid of green teeth!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What Else Could We Use?<\/strong><br \/>We were debating other ways we could create green beer without using food coloring and came up with a few alternatives. These haven&#8217;t been tested in the Test Kitchen yet&#8230; but maybe next Friday!<\/p>\n<p><u>Blue Curacao<\/u><br \/>Blue Curacao is a sweet blue orange flavored liqueur. Add 1 shot (about 1 oz) of Blue Curacao to your glass, then pour the beer. <\/p>\n<p><u>Liquid Chlorophyll<\/u><br \/>You can find chlorophyll at your local health food store. Add about 1 teaspoon (maybe 5 &#8211; 10 drops) into your glass, then pour your beer. <\/p>\n<p>Chlorophyll (not to be confused with chloroform) is used as a health supplement. It&#8217;s typically sold in a very concentrated form, so do not to use too much. Also,  some chlorophyll comes with a mint flavor &#8211; make sure not to pick up that one. Mint and beer are definitely not a good flavor combination.<\/p>\n<p>A St. Paddy&#8217;s Day toast to our wonderful members &#8211; Slainte!<\/p>\n<p><i>May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks,<br \/>May your heart be as light as a song,<br \/>May each day bring you bright, happy hours,<br \/>That stay with you all the year long.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had a bit of fun in the Test Kitchen this week.
