Happy Earth Day, nightlifers!. In celebration of all things green, I found some fun tips and eco-friendly treats on the about.com cocktails blog and listed them just for you.

For instance, if you're in the mood for earth-friendly libations, try the following environmentally friendly alcohols -- 360 Vodka, Orange V Vodka, Reyka Vodka and Square One Organic Vodka.

And, to mix up some earthy drinks, try these "green" (literally and figuratively) recipes:

Greentini
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz 360 Vodka
1 1/2 oz melon liqueur
lime wedge for garnish

Planetary Punch
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz 360 Vodka
1 1/2 oz melon liqueur
lime wedge for garnish

Organic Sensation
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 oz Square One Organic Vodka
1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
1/2 oz Spa Nectar (recipe below)
juice of 1/2 a lemon
4-5 fresh mint leaves, cut into strips
cucumber slice or lemon twist for garnish

For more tips and recipes on how to have the best Earth Day ever, visit cocktails.about.com. Don't forget, if you make some of these cocktails, avoid using paper or plastic cups. It's the least you can do.
