The best drinks and snacks for the Saints Days

Get ready for St David’s, St Patrick’s, St George’s and St Andrew’s!

We think raising a glass to the patron saints of David, George or Patrick should be compulsory on their special days, so try out these time-honoured tipples.

Deck your venue in red, white, green and blue and go native with a Full English, Irish stew, Welsh cakes or rarebit and, not forgetting Scotland’s St Andrew, a creamy, oatmeal cranachan dessert with whisky.

Tempt your guests with special offers in the run-up to the day or go all-in with themed quizzes and music. It’s a great excuse to bang out The Proclaimers, Tom Jones or The Pogues.

Distilled with nine botanicals and infused with cherries, its rich, sweet, sour flavour is perfect for dark nights with lemonade.

Sweet, spicy, rich and complex, it’s perfect alone, on the rocks or in an Old Fashioned where its toasted oak, creamy caramel and vanilla notes excel.
