It’s always a bummer when St. Patrick’s Day doesn’t fall on a Friday or the weekend, but that just means you get to start celebrating early. Our friends at Jim Beam are aware of this, and provided some excellent Irish-themed cocktails for you to mix up this weekend or enjoy on Monday after work. Either way, you can’t go wrong. Cheers!
