Luck of the imbibers…….

Sláinte!

St. Patrick’s Day may have originated as a religious observation of the foremost patron saint of Ireland in the early 17th century, but the holiday has since evolved into one of the biggest party days of the year.

And whether you are Irish or night, March 17 always marks a good excuse to wear green and get your drink on. But this year, give the boring green beer the old “Irish Goodbye” and sip on something a little stronger.

From Irish Coffees to Green Tea infused drinks, check out these festive creative cocktails based with Teeling Small Batch Irish Batched Whiskey below.
