St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday that includes many things. However, no matter what you do, you shouldn’t forget the drinks. The Irish people have given us probably the best drinks in the world and if you have ever been in a St. Patrick’s Day party, you know that nothing gets everyone going like a shot of whiskey. However, instead of serving the usual we have prepared a few cocktail ideas that we think will really get the party going this St. Patrick’s Day.
Irish Coffee
The Irish have a way of doing things differently and this Irish coffee is the perfect example of this. Coffee and whiskey have never tasted this good. All you need to make this cocktail is a shot of whiskey and some authentic coffee. You can add a few twists if you want but make sure the coffee and the whiskey are the main ingredients.
