Today is St Patrick's Day!
Also known as the Day of the Festival, it is an annual religious and cultural celebration in commemoration of the death of Saint Patrick.
Green is traditionally worn on St Patrick’s Day to symbolise the colours of Ireland. This day is a global celebration of the spirit, creativity, and determination of the Saint himself.
On this day there are traditionally no restrictions on eating or consuming alcohol, thus encouraging the consumption of large amounts of alcohol.
This holiday is not only celebrated in Ireland, as Irish immigrants have taken the tradition all over the world with them, and South Africa is no exception.
That said, no pandemic can cancel it because it’s more than just a day to meet in large crowds and drink – it’s a day where we all celebrate being a little bit Irish, be it in blood or in spirit.
In celebration of this day, the team at Tullamore Dew has shared some special recipes with which you can celebrate.
Created in Ireland in the heart of its ancestral home of Tullamore, County Offaly, this liquid gold is something crafted from much more than luck. The beauty of each blend is what makes this family so unique, each one bringing its own character to the mix.
