Let’s be honest, these days, St. Patrick’s Day is all about good vibes, cracking company and even better cocktails. Whether you’re off to a parade, hosting a laid-back get-together, or just treating yourself after a long week, it’s time to break out the Teeling Whiskey and get mixing. So, grab your favourite bottle, round up everyone you know, and let’s make this day one to remember.

In true Irish style (or shall we say Teeling style), we’re blending a bit of old-school tradition with a modern, playful twist. These recipes bring together classic charm and a cheeky bit of innovation, so you can enjoy a day that’s as flavour-packed as it is fun.

A quick nod to the past

Before we jump in, here’s a little backstory. St. Patrick’s Day started as a festive feast honouring St Patrick – the legendary patron saint who, allegedly, not only banished snakes from Ireland but also used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. Fast forward to today, and the day’s transformed into a full-blown celebration of all things Irish: parades, (lots of) green outfits, and, of course, top-notch whiskey.

This St Patrick’s Day we’re putting a spotlight on Teeling whiskey – bold, full of character, and rooted in Irish tradition, it’s the perfect partner for cocktails that are equal parts classic and playful.

The wake-up call: Teeling Irish Coffee

Caffeine fix, sorted. Need a pick-me-up that’s as smooth as it is satisfying? Ths Teeling Irish Coffee is just the ticket. It’s warm, creamy and meant for slow sips rather than downing in one go. The perfect way to get the party started (or keep it going).

Make magic with…

• 45 ml Teeling Small Batch
• 15 ml brown sugar syrup (or try a stout syrup for a twist)
• 90 ml fresh coffee
• 30 ml double cream

How to create it:

1. Warm up your glass: Give your glass a quick rinse with warm water to keep the drink nice and toasty.
2. Mix it up: Pour in the Teeling Whiskey, sugar syrup, and freshly brewed coffee. Stir well to blend the flavours.
3. Float the cream: Warm a large spoon and slowly pour the double cream over it so that it floats on top like a creamy crown.
4. Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle a bit of freshly grated nutmeg on top, then take your time to savour each sip.

This isn’t just any coffee—it’s a liquid hug, guaranteed to get you buzzing in the best possible way.

A stroke of luck: Four Leafed Clover Club

Feeling lucky? You should be, because this Irish take on the classic Clover Club is an absolute game-changer. Sweet, a little tart (thanks to the lemon juice), and effortlessly smooth, this one’s got ‘crowd-pleaser’ written all over it. And thanks to the unique character of Teeling Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey, it brings a richer, spicier depth to the mix. Side note: The velvety texture from the egg white? Next level.

Make magic with…

• 45 ml Teeling Pure Pot Still
• 15 ml fresh lemon juice (to balance the sweetness)
• 15 ml sugar syrup
• 15 ml egg white
• 5 fresh raspberries

How to create it:

1. Muddle the berries: In a shaker, gently crush the raspberries until they release all that juicy goodness.
2. Add the good stuff: Pour in the Teeling Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey, fresh lemon juice, sugar syrup, and egg white.
3. Dry shake: Shake it up without ice first—this creates that silky, foamy texture.
4. Chill it down: Add ice and shake again until well chilled.
5. Strain and serve: Strain into a coupe glass and let the foam settle like a perfect little cloud.
6. Final touch: Garnish with a fresh raspberry or a dusting of freeze-dried raspberry powder for that extra bit of flair.

This cocktail is as elegant as it is easy to love—perfectly balanced, wonderfully smooth, and with just the right amount of Irish charm. A proper toast to good fortune, great whiskey, and an even better night ahead.
