St. Patrick’s day is just around the corner. How are you indulging this special holiday? Whether hanging out with a large group of friends or kicking it back at home alone, it’s essential to have everything you need to celebrate appropriately. In our latest blog, we share five cocktails perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Check it out and see if any tickles your fancy.

Irish Coffee Cocktail

This year St. Patrick’s Day will fall on Friday. If you’re taking the Friday day off and jumpstarting the weekend early, there’s no doubt you’re starting your day off with some coffee. And you know what’s better than a plain ol’ cup of joe? IRISH COFFEE! Irish coffee is perfect to start the holiday, and your entire weekend off right. All you need is a bit of Irish Whiskey, brown sugar, coffee, and some whipped creme. If that’s too much work for you early in the morning, a glass of Bailey’s should do.

Irish Mule Cocktail

The next on the list is an Irish Mule. Like a Moscow mule, an Iris mule is easy to make and oh-so-delicious. With the warm weather here, a glass of this should help keep you cool and refreshed throughout the day. You only need a bottle of Irish Whiskey, lime juice, and ginger beer. An Irish mule will help bring about all the warm feelings while allowing you to stay nice and cool. To elevate the experience, use some cold copper mugs for an added sensory kick.

Irish Maid Cocktail

Not entirely down for an Irish mule, but still want something on the refreshing side? An Irish Maid cocktail may just be what you seek. An Irish Maid cocktail is slightly sweet, tangy, and refreshing. It’s a botanical blend that delicious and refreshing. All you need is Irish Whiskey, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, honey, and muddled cucumber.

Black Velvet

After Irish coffee, mule, and Irish Maid, we have Black Velvet. It is an Irish Classic worth trying at least once in your life. Black Velvet is an interesting combination of champagne and Guinness. While it may sound a bit odd, all we can say is don’t knock it until you try it. Its fizzy goodness gone, hoppier! PUN INTENDED.

Irish Blonde

They say blondes have more fun, so we chose to save the best for last. An Irish Blonde is a great way to break free from all the traditional go-to St. Patrick’s cocktails and opt for something a little more refined and classier. Celebrate the night away with this delectable cocktail. It’s a blend of Irish Whiskey, orange curaçao, sherry, orange bitters, and flamed orange peels. With a glass of this, you can have your fun while keeping it low-key.
