St. Patrick’s Day might be tomorrow, but there’s still time to stock the bar cart.
Right now, Fine Wine & Good Spirits is running a Flash Sale through March 22, offering up to 22% off select wines and spirits. If you’re planning a St. Patrick’s Day celebration — or simply want an excuse to try a festive cocktail — it’s a great time to grab a few ingredients and mix something fun at home.
Below are three easy, Irish-inspired cocktails that feel perfect for the occasion.
Irish Cream Whiskey Dirty Soda
This creamy, lightly sweet cocktail feels a bit like a grown-up soda float, and it’s FWGS’ Cocktail of the Month.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Jameson Triple Triple Irish Whiskey
- 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 oz half-and-half
- Cream soda
Combine the whiskey, Irish cream, and half-and-half in a highball glass filled with ice. Stir gently. Top with cream soda.
Irish Cream Stout
Rich and smooth, this one leans toward dessert cocktail territory — perfect for after dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 oz coffee liqueur
- 1 oz espresso
- 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
Combine the coffee liqueur and espresso in a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Slowly pour the Irish cream over the back of a bar spoon to create a layered effect.
Irish Lemonade
Bright, refreshing, and easy to sip — a lighter option for the holiday. I think we’ll be mixing this one up at home as soon as this weather turns.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey
- 2 oz Goslings Ginger Beer
- 2 oz lemonade
- 1 dash Angostura Bitters
- Mint sprig, for garnish
Combine whiskey, ginger beer, and lemonade in a Mason jar. Add bitters and fill with ice. Stir gently. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Whether you’re hosting friends, making a festive dinner at home, or just looking for a simple way to celebrate the day, these cocktails are an easy way to add a little St. Patrick’s Day spirit.
And if your bar cart could use a refresh, the Flash Sale at Fine Wine & Good Spirits runs through March 22, with up to 22% off select wines and spirits — a good excuse to stock up while the savings last.
Sláinte!
