Whether you’re earnestly celebrating a man who purportedly drove the snakes out of Ireland or just looking to wear a little more green because it makes your eyes pop, Sporked has all the foods and drinks you need to stock up on from the grocery store. From the best stout (there’s more than just Guinness, laddy) to the best instant mashed potatoes to go with your corned beef, we’re here to help make this the tastiest St. Patrick’s Day you’ve ever had.
Best Stout
Sure, you could go with the classic Guinness (and, yes, that’s on the list), but there are other choices out there. Check out the best stouts you can buy.
Best Baileys Flavors
Irish Coffee, Espresso Martini, Mudslide, White Russian, spiked hot chocolate, Jelly Donut shots…the point is, you need Bailey’s. Here are the best Bailey flavors for your St. Patrick’s Day party purposes.
Best Premade Whiskey Cocktails
No luck needed to make these canned whiskey cocktails celebration-worthy.
Best Beer to Dye Green
Skip the bar and dye your own beer green at home—just make sure it actually tastes good.
Best Non-Alcoholic Beer
You don’t have to get buzzed to party on St. Paddy’s. There are plenty of great tasting N/A beers that you can crack open instead.
Best Non-Alcoholic Whiskey
Yes, you can drink a non-alcoholic Boilermaker with an N/A beer and a shot of N/A whiskey. Should you, though? Yes. Definitely, yes.
Best Corned Beef Hash
Don’t want to slow cook an entire corned beef? Grab one of these top cans of corned beef hash instead.
Best Canned Corned Beef
And what if you want the corned beef without the hash? We’ve got you covered on that, too.
Best Deli Corned Beef
This goes out to the Reuben lovers (who also don’t want to slow cook an entire corned beef brisket).
Best Baked Beans
Starting (or ending?) your festivities in the a.m.? Your Irish breakfast won’t be complete without the best baked beans.
Best Instant Mashed Potatoes
Get your mashed potato fix in a flash with the best instant mashed potatoes. They’re not just good instant mashed potatoes—they rival the real deal.
Best Frozen Shepherd’s Pie
We simply can’t tolerate flavorless pies on St. Paddy’s. If you’re not in the mood to chef up your own Shepherd’s Pie, here are the good frozen options.
