Leading up to St. Patrick's Day, iconic Irish liqueur brand Baileys and coffee shop Grind teamed up to launch a limited-edition Irish coffee. Baileys Irish Coffee combines Baileys with Grind’s specialty coffee, brown sugar, Irish whiskey, and an indulgent sea salt Baileys cream float.
The specialty drink will be available surrounding the holiday, from March 15th to 17th and the first 100 customers will get the beverage on the house at Grind’s Liverpool Pool Street store if they say the password: “Kiss Me, I’m Irish." The drinks will also be available at Grind in London Bridge, Greenwich, Covent Garden, and Shoreditch.
This St. Patrick’s Day special is the first in a series of limited-edition coffees Baileys is set to release this spring.
