Beer, Wine, and Liquor of the Month: Our March Picks

March is an unpredictable month, where winter’s chill lingers even as we yearn for spring’s thaw. It’s a time when snowflakes may still kiss the ground, yet the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day warms us with anticipation for greener, brighter days ahead. At RSVP, we’ve handpicked a selection of beverages that embody this blend of seasonal contrasts — from a robust red wine that echoes the depth of winter, to a classic Irish stout that nods to the festive green of March, and an Irish whisky that promises warmth and camaraderie. Join us in celebrating this transitional month with our carefully chosen picks.

Jameson Irish Coffee Recipe

How about a classic Jameson Irish Coffee? It’s a delightful blend of warmth and cheer, ideal for snowy evenings or brisk mornings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ oz Jameson Irish Whisky
  • 1 oz freshly brewed hot coffee
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Freshly whipped cream (lightly whipped)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your glass by filling it with hot water, then discard the water after a few seconds.
  2. Add the brown sugar to the glass, then pour in the freshly brewed hot coffee. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Add the Jameson Irish Whisky to the mixture and stir again to combine.
  4. Carefully float the lightly whipped cream on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon so it rests on top of the coffee mixture, rather than sinking in.
  5. Enjoy your Jameson Irish Coffee without stirring; sip the warm coffee and whisky through the cool cream for the full experience.
