For Americans, March is one of the most spirited months on the Gregorian calendar—college basketball heats up, Spring arrives and St. Patrick’s Day brings joyous celebrations. To contribute to the latter, we have modeling industry mogul and former Playmate Sweden Elizabeth Leigh here with a charming lineup of festive cocktails!
Elizabeth Leigh (MUA: Matt Gossett)
To add context, Elizabeth owns and operates the Sullivan Agency out of Memphis, Tennessee. She also is a dazzling model in her own right, having previously been named a Playmate of the Month in Sweden. More simply, she absolutely knows the way to a good time—especially when it comes to “Grind City.”
Elizabeth Leigh graciously visited downtown Memphis’ Slider Inn in search of the perfect beverage menu for St. Patrick’s Day 2025. There, she curated boozy batches that are sure to have you Irish stepdancing in no time (or attempting to, at least). Let’s begin with her favorite: a St. Paddy’s “Pot O’Gold.”
