While the drinks offer the creaminess of Irish liquor, these drinks are bursting with caffeine—not alcohol. The new Irish Creme beverages from The Coffee Bean are a selection of limited-edition lattes created for St. Patrick's Day. The new drinks consist of creamy Irish coffee blended with the chain's signature vanilla powder and a splash of milk. The drinks are completely non-alcoholic and are available hot or iced. Select locations are also offering an [Ice Blended](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-blended-deals) form topped with whipped cream and festive green sugar crystals. While most brands have been doubling down on alcoholic drinks for St. Patrick's Day, The Coffee Bean's new Irish Creme beverages offer a more subtle way to celebrate.
