Feeling lucky? The Irish are… The “Luck of the Irish” is a phrase coined in the 19th Century, during the gold and silver rush years. Many of the most successful miners during that time were of Irish descent. This afternoon we pay homage to both Ireland and its people with 5 St. Patrick’s Day Cocktails designed to test your luck…
