Though March 17 honors the death of Saint Patrick it is also a time of international celebration toasting the luck of the Irish. When St. Patrick’s Day rolls around the truly festive dye their hair green for luck, wear green to avoid finger pinches and drink green beer to celebrate. There are also rounds of shots at every bar stop.

I enjoy a variety of drinks. i have a friend who is trying to provide bartending to a bar which usually has shots of only 2 ingredients. This is done for a variety of reasons. Do you have a list of simple 2 ingredient shots with nothing exotic?
