Tipsy-Turvy: A celebration of Irish spirits and drinks

Since the International Irish Whiskey Day took place last week (March 3), and St Patrick’s Day is happening next week (March 17), I decided to take another look into the world of Irish spirits, beers and cocktails. The last time I wrote about Irish drinks was about nine years ago, so I reckon it’s time for a refresher.

When it comes to Irish drinks, the first name that comes to mind is usually Guinness, the iconic black beer that is available worldwide and even brewed locally in numerous countries, including Malaysia.
