St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow. How did that happen so soon?
Even though we don’t have a parade in Savannah this year, you can still enjoy a few drinks at your favorite pub.
I recently spoke with the folks at O’Connell’s Irish Pub to get some ideas for some drinks outside of the usual pint of Guinness or glass of Jameson.
Green Tea – this drink can either be a shot or a cocktail. It includes Irish whiskey, Peach Schnapps, and sour mix shaken with a splash of Sprite on top – a perfectly refreshing drink to cool down with after a hot day.
Irish Coffee – You can’t go wrong with this St. Patrick’s Day staple. While it’s usually made with just whiskey, coffee, a bit of sugar, and heavy cream on top, O’Connell’s does offer variations with Bailey’s Irish Cream.
Beer other than Guinness- The people at O’Connell’s are excited to now be serving Sullivans ale and stout from Kilkenny, Ireland.
Whiskey other than Jameson – Customers at O’Connell’s have been enjoying Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey recently.
Another whiskey cocktail that’s popular right now is a caramel apple cocktail made with Ole Smokey Salty Caramel Whiskey and Captain Morgan’s Sliced Apple Rum.
And if none of that sounds appetizing, you can always rely on a tall glass of Magners Irish Cider.
