Oh, a pint of Irish beer in a pub, a leprechaun and lads named O’Leary and O’Brien, of course, but Irish whiskey is as much as part of the culture as the shamrock. So when George Roe & Co Distillery in Dublin comes up with a few St. Patrick’s Day-themed cocktails, you know they are true to the spirit of the Land of Saints and Scholars.
Roe & Co is made from the finest hand-selected stocks of Irish malt and grain whiskies, aged in bourbon casks. Master Blender Caroline Martin used her 30 years of experience to created a versatile, premium whiskey. Roe & Co is a luxuriously smooth blend with a perfect harmony between the intense fruitiness of the malt and the mellow creaminess of the grain whiskies.
Here are the cocktails with the recipes.
