Irish apple tart showcases local apples in a simple, buttery pastry and was a classic way for households to celebrate the autumn harvest, often served with a spoonful of custard.

Carrageen pudding

Carrageen pudding

Carrageen pudding uses carrageen moss, a seaweed, as a natural gelling agent, giving the dessert a silky, translucent texture that has been used in Irish kitchens for centuries.

Traditional Beverages

Guinness

Guinness

Guinness has been brewed at St. James's Gate in Dublin since 1759 under the famous 9,000-year lease signed by Arthur Guinness, and its roasted barley flavor and nitrogenated pour create the signature smooth, creamy head.

Irish whiskey

Irish whiskey

Irish whiskey helped fuel Dublin's 19th-century distilling boom, and its often triple-distilled, mellow character made it a global favorite for neat drinking and cocktails.

Irish coffee

Irish coffee

Irish coffee was created to warm travelers by combining hot coffee, brown sugar, a shot of Irish whiskey, and a float of cream. The trick is to sip the coffee through the cream for a warm, sweet and velvety mouthfeel.
