Corned beef and cabbage is a classic irish meal, but not everyone loves it. Something easy that we used to do was cook sausage in a crock pot (EASY!) and pour in a bottle of Guiness, an Irish beer. It cooks down the alcohol and tastes yummy! Definitely on the potatoes, and the green food coloring is great in potatoes or clear beverages - just remember, you need WAY less than you think!!! My hands used to get so stained when I worked in an Irish pub on St. Patty's.
