Here are a half dozen Irish liquors worth trying (that aren’t whiskey)

St Patrick's Day doesn't have to always mean green beer and whiskey. Here are six other Irish liquors to look into.

With St. Patrick's Day on the horizon, the masses tend to gravitate towards the standard Irish drinks. You know, a finger or two of whiskey and a Guinness to wash it all down. As tasty as the popular options are, Irish liquor has much more to offer in terms of intriguing fermented liquids.

From interesting gins and smooth cream liqueurs to things you've probably never heard of (Poitín), we've put together a half-dozen Irish liquors worth checking out this March and beyond. They offer new flavor profiles and reveal a country with way more to its name than just lagers, stouts, and whiskies. If you're looking for Irish drinks this St. Paddy's Day and perhaps tired of the same old, read on.

Drink these delicious Irish beers on St. Patrick’s Day (and beyond)

Ready to sip like the Irish this St. Patrick's Day? Here are some great beer options from across the pond

Beer and St. Patrick's Day go together like corned beef and cabbage. The Irish holiday is just a few weeks away, which means it's time to get into the spirit. A great way to do so is with a crisp lager or hearty Irish stout from across the pond.

The masses can have their green-dyed beer. We all know it's just Budweiser anyway. Why not crack a real Irish brew? Granted, many of Ireland's best craft beers are a bit harder to come by stateside (but do ask about them at your favorite bottle shop) but even the larger producers are turning out some pretty tasty suds.

The 9 best rums for Mojitos that you can get behind

Making a Mojito? You're going to need a nice light rum, like one of these standout selections

A hand serving a glass of Mojito on a table.

In the vast land of rum cocktails, the Mojito is an elite player. This classic cocktail, born in Cuba, is both a cinch to make and extremely rewarding to drink. Made of rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda water, the beverage is basically the liquid definition of refreshing.

While often pegged as a summer drink, the Mojito is really accessible year-round. In fact, like a good tiki drink, the cocktail can be even more desirable during the colder months as it can deposit you somewhere sun-kissed and tropical. Yet, because the drink is so dependent on its spirit base, it can only be as good as the rum that goes into it.
