Everything on this hearty corned beef and 'tato menu pairs nicely with a pint and that shamrock headband springing around your head.
Soda Bread
Even if you don't fancy yourself a bread-baker, you can bake this. Really, it's that easy (one of my favorites from the Wake and Bake series). The dense, round loaf is made with whole-wheat flour, oats, and buttermilk, and studded with plump golden raisins with a sprinkling of raw sugar on top. Slather it with a big pat of Kerrygold butter.

Beefy, salty, and moist, this is a classic plate of corned beef. All the veggies get cooked in that salty corned beef water, too.

Leave it to ice cream ninja Max to create this ice cream inspired by one of our favorite nightcaps. First you taste the coffee, roasted and rich, then comes the caramel to sweeten things up a tad, then the shot of Jameson. The more ice cream you eat, the stronger the whiskey tastes.
