St. Patrick's Day party drinks


Everyone knows ya cant have a true St. Patrick's Day party without some traditional Irish drinks. Get plenty of Guinness, but add these 2 fine recipes as well! And remember to Drink Responsibly!!!!!

Irish Coffee
2 oz (60 ml) of Irish Whiskey
1 teaspoon of Brown Sugar
Freshly made strong black coffee
Whipped Cream

Gently warm whiskey and sugar in a saute pan, stirring just until smooth. Pour into coffee glass. Add the coffee slowly,filling the glass to within half an inch of the top. Pour the cream in gently. Do not stir.

(grated chocolate can be added to the top if desired)


and, for a very "Posh" feel to the event:
Black Velvet
Makes 1 Quart

1/2 qt Guinness
1/2 qt Champagne
Combine Guinness and champagne in a tall chilled glass.
Stir gently and serve.


Recipe cards are available in our Wee Irish Gallery. You might also consider the fine Guinness card (pictured above), which is nice enough to frame!

Saint Patricks Day


March is just around the corner, and with it comes everything GREEN. The crocus stems are already peaking from the soil, along with a few bright green weeds. The promise of more sunshine and warm afternoons brings a sigh of relief. This is one of the best times of the year!

While St. Patrick's Day festivities will center round green beer and crazy parades, there is also a place to remember the history of this remarkable man and the blessings he left us. So, we've been busy making (and selling) lots of beautiful cards. What a blessing! Thanks to all who've purchased, may spring bring you much joy!
