The Parting Glass | Ireland’s Favourite Folk Song

Ireland’s favourite folk sing will put you in a great mood.

The Parting Glass is thought to have been a popular New Year’s Eve song in both Ireland and Scotland before it was superseded by Auld Lang Syne.

The Parting Glass is also a great example of a  combination of both  joy and sorrow in a way that is both sad yet uplifting at the same time. The song may have fell out of use during New Year celebrations but it still remains one of the most popular traditional songs in Ireland.

At The Bar

Irish Mule Recipe: A St. Patrick’s Day Must-Try

The Irish Mule Recipe is a refreshing cocktail that is a must-try for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. This drink is a delightful twist on the classic Moscow Mule, substituting Irish whiskey for the traditional vodka. The combination of smooth whiskey, zesty lime juice, and spicy ginger beer creates a balanced and invigorating beverage. The Irish Mule is not only known for its unique and robust flavor but also for its festive green hue, making it the perfect addition to any St. Patrick’s Day festivities.
