We've sweetened the deal this St. Patrick's Day with a holiday menu that includes a decadent Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse Cake. In this dessert, layers of espresso cake are brushed with Irish whiskey syrup, then spread with chocolate mousse spiked with Irish cream liqueur. The only drawback? This cake could upstage the corned beef and cabbage main course. But don't worry—we've got incredible recipes for those, too. bonappetit.com/go/stpatricksday
The Guinness Book of Cocktails
Skip the usual pint this St. Patty's Day and shake things up instead with one of our favorite Irish-themed drinks, like a Maloney's Irish Cream cocktail (shown). Or try a Guinness cocktail: We challenged three of the hottest bartenders across America to create cocktails starring everyone's favorite stout from Dublin. bonappetit.com/go/guinness
