What to drink on St Paddy’s Day

The only shopping list you need for the annually acceptable date to day-drink - whether you go all out, or decide to stay in!

What came from a religious backstory celebrating Irish culture and heritage has now turned into a global party best known for parades, happy hours and the colour green. 

One of the most iconic drinks associated with St. Patrick's Day is Guinness, a dark, rich Irish stout that is popular around the world. Many people also enjoy other Irish beers such as Harp, Murphy's, or Smithwick's, as well as Irish whiskey such as Jameson, Bushmills, or Tullamore Dew.

Who doesn’t like a great Irish triple-distilled Single Malt to celebrate Paddy’s Day? Explore beyond your classic Jameson or RedBreast, and give these whiskies a shot.
