From the rich, creamy pour of a Guinness Draught to the smooth warmth of a classic Irish whiskey, the right selection of spirits sets the tone for a truly legendary celebration.
At Liquor2Door, we’ve got just what you need to make this St. Patrick’s Day unforgettable. So grab your favorite green attire, cue up some Irish folk tunes, and let’s dive into the best ways to toast to the luck of the Irish!
A Pint of Tradition: The Guinness Experience
No St. Patrick’s Day is complete without a proper pint of Guinness. This world-famous stout, with its deep, dark color and velvety smooth head, is as much a part of Irish culture as the holiday itself. Whether you’re enjoying it fresh from the tap or savoring it at home, the taste of Guinness is unmistakable—rich, slightly bitter, and utterly satisfying.
For those celebrating at home, Liquor2Door offers the Guinness 440ml Draught Can, designed to deliver that signature smoothness with every pour. And if you’re looking for all the flavor without the alcohol, the Guinness Draught Zero C440ml is the perfect way to raise a glass while keeping things light.
The Perfect Guinness Pour at Home
Want that creamy pub-style Guinness experience in your own kitchen? Here’s how to get it just right:
1. Chill your can to the ideal temperature—around 6°C (43°F).
2. Pour at a 45-degree angle into a clean, dry glass.
3. Let it settle for a minute to achieve that signature cascading effect.
4. Top it off with a straight pour and enjoy!
Bonus tip: Pair your Guinness with classic Irish dishes like beef and Guinness stew or a hearty shepherd’s pie for a truly authentic experience.
Indulge in the Sweet Side with Baileys
St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just about beer and whiskey—it’s also the perfect time to indulge in something decadently smooth and creamy. Baileys 700ml is a must-have for anyone who loves a touch of sweetness in their celebration. Made with Irish whiskey and fresh cream, this liqueur is perfect for sipping over ice, mixing into coffee, or even drizzling over dessert.
