18 Fun St Patrick’s Day Drinks to Enjoy at Home
Delicious St Patrick’s Day drink recipes: Irish-inspired drinks to celebrate Paddy’s Day and bring a taste of Ireland to your evening, wherever you are.
Wherever you are around the world, St Paddy’s Day is one of those events where you can’t help but gather your mates – Irish or not!- to join in the festivities.
I love a good Guinness as much as the next person, but there’s one thing more certain than spotting a leprechaun: I’ll be seeking out novel ways of celebrating St Patrick’s Day this March 17th at home!
If you’ll be hosting your own St Patrick’s Day Party or an intimate mini-celebration at home while you watch the parade, we’ve curated this list of St Patrick’s drink recipes you can try at home.
As you can imagine, Shamrock Green features heavily, as does Jameson and Irish creams, although we also have a blue drink (little-known fun fact about Ireland: blue was the color associated with Saint Patrick before green took over, and it is still the national color of Ireland!)
We’ve sought out some mocktails, too, so all the family can join in the festivities. So let’s dig in and celebrate, regardless of our situation and bring a touch of Irish cheer to your home in 2025.
