Planning a St. Patrick’s Day get-together at your house this year? If so, you don’t need the luck of the Irish to dazzle family and friends with festive foods, all you need to do is add a little color, with the help of McCormickâ Assorted Food Color.

Finger foods make perfect party treats. To give your snacks a festive flair, dress fiery chicken wings with a hearty helping of blue cheese dressing, tinted green to capture the spirit of the day. A guaranteed party pleaser, this dish can be prepared in minutes if you use pre-cooked wings. To create the dressing, add 12 drops of green food color to 1/2 cup of blue cheese dressing and stir.

Does your vegetable platter need a touch of the Emerald Isle? Add 20 drops of green food color and 3 drops of yellow to any ranch dip to give it a little St. Paddy’s Day style and make Irish eyes smile.

If you prefer to tantalize your guests with sweets, make a fruit salad crowned with a swirl of mint green whipped topping. This light, tasty treat will satisfy almost any sweet tooth. You can also create some magic with emerald-colored rice cereal marshmallow treats, or serve fanciful shamrock cookies decorated with green icing.

Help your guests quench their thirst with some frothy green beer or lemon-lime soda. Add a splash of green to beer or for a non-alcoholic alternative, try squeezing 6 drops of green food color into 8 ounces of lemon-lime soda.

Throwing a festive St. Paddy’s Day party can be a snap, just drop in the green. Follow these simple tips from McCormick, and your guests will feel as if they’ve just won a pot of gold.
