Saint Patrick's Day Party Food Ideas

Let's celebrate the luck of the Irish! It's March and you know what that means... Saint Patrick's Day parties! Social Crafts gives you the best party food and recipes ideas for every occasion. This Lucky Leprechaun Party Food Ideas post includes three green cocktail recipes, five St. Patrick's Day inspired food recipes, and three super easy and fun dessert ideas.

I absolutely love finding unique easy recipes that impress a crowd but are easy to execute... and these are just that. I will never post something that is a gazillion steps or a gazillion ingredients. I believe in hosting parties that don't need to be over strenuous to be lovely.

I search long and wide to bring you my collections of themed party food ideas. How you can use this list:

• Pick and choose whatever recipes catch your attention and make what seems right for your gathering.
• Make everything on this list, as it is created to be a complete full party menu
• Or just simply get inspired by the party food that is listed here to create your own ideas

Whatever way you use this list, please tag us in your finished product! We'd love to see @socialcrafts.

COCKTAILS

This beautiful Sparkling Shamrock cocktail is also beautifully delicious, impress your Saint Patrick's Day guests. Made by Taryn Willford, she mixes Midori Melon Liqueur and champagne to create a fun bubbly cocktail! Check out her blog for the full cocktail recipe how she does the sugar rim and melon ball touches.



Sherbert in a cocktail??? YES PLEASE! This simple but super fun drink recipe is originally made with no alcohol but for us, it was perfect with a touch of Jameson Whisky added to it. So whether you make it with or without booze you will have a perfect Saint Patrick's Day drink recipe. Recipe from Passion for Saving.



This party punch can also be served with or without alcohol but either way, it's suuuuure pretty! Forget using food dye to make it green, head on over to This Silly Girls Kitchen post to see all the ingredients!


APPETIZERS


My mouth is just drooling looking at these spinach artichoke dip pinwheels. I am a sucker for anything spinach artichoke dip. It's not only a very easy recipe, but the spinach tortilla also gives a perfect green for your St. Patty's day food spread. Get the full recipe at the Three Olives Branch blog.



Although it's not green it sure is Irish! This Cheddar Guinness Dip will have your guests filling your kitchen with compliments. It is SO yummy and gives a perfect mix to your St. Patrick's day spread. Very easy and sure to please. Full recipe at The Parsley Theif. 



As green as can be for St. Patrick's Day! These Guacamole Cups are easy to achieve and A+ for presentation. I mean, is it really a party without Guacamole?! Of course not! Get the low down on this party food recipe at Gimme Some Oven.



Not everything has to be green on the table for St. Patrick's Day! This party food idea is all in the arrangement! Adding fruit to your food menu is one of my favorite things to do. It's a refreshing break between all the heavy appetizers... and this rainbow is stinkin' cuuuute!



Chimichurri Sauce is green and good on EVERYTHING!!!! This can help add green to any savory dish this St. Patrick's Day. Having a base of parsley, garlic, and oregano I love putting it on meats (grilled chicken or steak), bread dipping sauce, or even on my mashed potatoes... honestly anything. Perfect if you want to expand your meal past just appetizers this St. Patrick's Day! The best recipe I've found is from The Food Charlatan.


DESSERT


I really have no words for how cute these are!! Skip to my Lou did amazing with these Rainbow Cupcakes. A bright and beautiful way to finish off the St. Patrick's Day. She even gives a good hint that you can ask your baker to frost the cupcakes in blue giving you a head start on the decorating. LOVE LOVE LOVE!



So many of my favorite things are in this recipe. Mint. Cheesecake. Oreos. AND it's green!!! Holy Moly we just hit the jackpot for St. Patrick's Day party food! Gimme this Mint chocolate chip cheesecake dip right now, I will eat a whole bowl. See Homemade Hooplah's magic here.



Adding to the cuteness factor... Leprechaun Hat S’mores! So easy and just adorable. I loved these so much I made a video tutorial showing you how it's done, watch it HERE. Thank you The Cake Blog for the wonderful idea!
