In 2025, Jameson became the Official Whiskey of Major League Soccer, and the limited-edition Jameson Irish Goal Soccer Cocktail Kit was curated to share a new cocktail recipe and offer a nod to the MLS All-Star Game.
Jameson Irish Goal puts a fresh spin on the iconic Jameson Ginger & Lime by building on a base of Jameson Original with Tajín Clásico Seasoning, ginger ale, and dehydrated limes. The kit also includes soccer ball ice cube molds and a Jameson foam soccer ball for a memorable unboxing experience and a well-crafted drink that inspires celebrations and connections with other soccer fans.
Appealing to fans of soccer and whiskey alike, the Jameson Irish Goal Kit is set to become available for purchase in August, exclusively on ReserveBar's website, while supplies last.
