Happy ST Patrick's Day and to get the celebrations going bright and early here on,
wake up our very own channel near is on the scene at an
Irish bar right
in the middle of New York City. What could go wrong?
I'll take one of everything, Mario.
Oh You guys caught me ordering the drinks that I'm bringing back for you. Of course.
Now all morning we've been celebrating ST Patrick's Day
out here at the Dead Rabbit in New York City
and it's time to drink up a little bit and
toast to the holiday because it's five o'clock somewhere,
right?
So Jack, I want to know a little bit more about the drinks that we're making today.
This one is one you guys are famous for, right? Yeah.
So we're making you are Irish coffee on another drink called TLC.
So the Irish coffee is our signature drink here to Dead Rabbit.
And this is a drink that
is very much in the spirit of, of ST Patrick's Day. So a drink that was created
in a, in, in Ireland, but popularized in America.
Not that dissimilar to ST Patrick's Day celebrations. This is beautiful. I love the
top. What's actually in here? So we have coffee roasted in Ireland.
We have Demerara and Molasses sugar
and then we have a blended Irish whiskey and then cream that just floats on the top.
So you have a nice hot liquid underneath. Ice cold cream at the top.
You can garnish it with nutmeg if you
feel it's warm. But that's, that's the Irish coffee.
So you should, you should, you should definitely try some. Okay.
Well, the funny part is both you and I don't drink alcohol.
So we're going to save this one,
Baker back at the studio, but talk about this one.
This is a non alcoholic drink, right? Yeah, this is a T L C.
We have a non alcoholic spurt and they're called
seed lip and then we have lemon verbena,
honey and tonic.
So it's basically like a vodka gin and tonic, vodka soda idea.
So it's very approachable.
Um And it's part of our thing here too that Robert ST Patrick's Day is for everybody.
It's not just for people who are, who are drinking crazy and I love it,
has a little sweetness to it and I love the ice
cube is like one large ice cube all the way down.
I love, that's how it looks.
Now, I know a lot of people here in New York and all over the country here in the US.
They'll be walking around drinking green beer on ST Patrick's Day
Mario. He's like laughing about that.
So obviously that's not a thing they do in Ireland. How do y'all feel about that?
Not great.
Not great. We don't, we don't love green beer and we don't love green rivers. Okay.
So Chicago, you stop making your rivers green.
You won't catch me wearing anything green because it's the same Valentine's Day.
You have these couples that celebrate one time of year.
You were Irish 365 days a year, you know,
so we don't need to put on a green shirt or have green beer to
celebrate that.
Okay. What some of the popular drinks that people also make
besides these two when they come in.
So we also have the Irish Coffee Martini
answer to the Espresso Martini
with Irish coffee,
our Irish whiskey. Sorry
for Saint Patrick's Day.
We'll be doing the spells book which is like a Hibiscus Irish whiskey, Moscow mule.
And we'll also be doing something like the taking liberties
which is like Irish whiskey old fashioned with cow husk
and vanilla. Okay.
Well, I love what you were telling us earlier that if you do decide to drink,
you were talking about the responsibility behind doing so.
Yeah, 100%. So we obviously another big drink we sell
is uh is Guinness on ST Patrick's Day, but we also serve Guinness double zero.
Um So we have options for people who are
either minimizing or drinking or not drinking at all because
it seems to me uh in, in New York, I can't speak to the rest of America,
but ST Patrick's Day is used as a, as a leprechaun version of Santa on.
Um So, so yeah, drink responsibly drink water, eat food.
It's all meant to be enjoyed in, in uh in the vein of family culture and all things,
hospitality.
So,
so hopefully, hopefully that's what everybody does in ST Patrick's Day. All right.
Well, I say cheers to that to you.
You're not gonna drink it, but, well, cheers with it and like you said,
drink responsibly back to you guys.
