St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day is the celebration of Ireland's national patron saint, observed worldwide on March 17th. Streets fill with green, shamrocks, and Irish music, while tables are loaded with classic dishes, corned beef and cabbage, beef stew with stout, Irish soda bread, and of course a pint of Guinness or an Irish coffee. On this special page, you will find authentic recipes for your own Irish evening.
St. Patrick's Day Traditions
Corned Beef and Cabbage
Corned beef and cabbage is the most iconic St. Patrick's Day dish, though paradoxically born more in Irish-American communities than in Ireland itself. Beef brisket is cured in a brine with whole spices, slowly braised, and served with boiled cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. The dish is hearty, well-spiced, and has a deep, slightly sweet-sour profile.Irish Stew and Soda Bread
Tradiční irský guláš je sytý pokrm z jehněčího nebo hovězího masa s bramborami, mrkví, cibulí a stoutem. Vaří se několik hodin, dokud se maso nerozpadá. Vždy je podáván s irským sodovým chlebem, bez kvasnic, kynutým jedlou sodou a podmáslím. Má hustou strukturu a křupavou kůrku.Guinness, Irish Coffee, and Green Drinks
No St. Patrick's Day is complete without beer. Guinness, the Irish stout with its creamy head, is a national treasure and the day's drink of choice. Traditional Irish coffee, hot coffee with Irish whiskey, brown sugar, and a layer of cream, is the perfect end to the evening. For kids and drivers, green lemonade or colorful non-alcoholic mocktails are popular.
