St. Patrick's Day meal (This is after all, a Food blog)

I'm not Irish. I'm Dutch... and 1/8th Scottish (it's close enough?). My wife though... is Polish / Irish (her mom's maiden name is Patrick)! So, every year, for a long time, she has done a "traditional" St. Patty's day meal for her friends. We have continued this tradition since we got married. So here's how it works:

1. Provided: Food.

2. Admission: Beer/Liquor to share, preferably Irish in nature.

3. Profit?

So here's the menu so far this year:

-Corned Beef (cooked in Guinness)

-Cabbage (Still trying to decide how to cook this this year... )

-Mashed potatoes (Dyed green...because why not?)

-Thinking about doing Colcannon, but it seems a little redundant.

Here's my questions to ya'll. Love the international aspect of TLO and I'm going to take full advantage of that here:

1. What, if anything, do you do for St. Patrick's Day?

2. Any recipe / food suggestions? I'd like to change it up since we've done the Corned beef, cabbage & potatoes every year. Specifically looking for a different way to do the cabbage

3. Favorite Irish themed beverage?

Get after it you TLO food bloggers!!
