The Merry's Dubai Chocolate Irish Cream expands the brand's liqueur range with a flavor inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate trend. The limited release combines pistachio, dark chocolate and vanilla with fresh Irish cream and aged Irish whiskey, creating a dessert-inspired profile rooted in one of social media's most recognizable confectionery trends. Produced using cream sourced from grass-fed Irish cows in the Golden Vale, the brand's farm-to-bottle process is completed within 12 hours from milking to finished production, preserving the freshness of the dairy ingredient.
The new variant joins Merry's existing Irish cream lineup while introducing pistachio as a central flavor component alongside rich chocolate notes. The recipe balances creamy dairy with whiskey and subtle vanilla to recreate the layered character associated with Dubai chocolate. Packaged in a 750ml bottle, the liqueur will be distributed nationwide in the US through Prestige Beverage Group beginning October 1.
