Fire Department Coffee - St. Paddy's Day Edition - A Non-Alcoholic Choice

Fire Dept. Coffee’s Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee Makes a Delicious, Non-Alcoholic Irish Coffee for St. Paddy’s Day

ROCKFORD, Illinois — You don’t have to be Irish to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. That’s no secret. It’s also no secret that a lot of St. Paddy’s Day celebrations are centered around alcohol — from green beer to dark Irish stouts and a full range of concoctions made with Irish spirits.

Fire Dept. Coffee now has a great option for anyone who wants a non-alcoholic alternative while still enjoying the festivities in true Irish style.


The veteran-owned and firefighter-run company’s Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee is the headlining ingredient in its popular recipe for non-alcoholic Irish Coffee.

“We look forward to St. Patrick’s Day every year,” Fire Dept. Coffee founder Luke Schneider said. “For anyone who loves the taste of Irish coffee, this recipe lets you enjoy it all day long. Once people try it, they’re actually going to enjoy it all year long.”

The recipe calls for just three ingredients: Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee, brown sugar and lightly whipped cream. It couldn’t be easier.

Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee is one of the most popular selections in Fire Dept. Coffee’s line of signature Spirit-Infused Coffee roasts. Each one features a rich, bold coffee accented by the distinct flavors of fine spirits. The company uses a signature infusion process to create the ideal blend of tasting notes, even as the alcohol content of the spirits is removed during the roasting process.

The result is an undeniably great taste and a beverage that can be consumed anywhere, anytime — whether that’s on the job or at the year’s best St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

For anyone who wants to enjoy their non-alcoholic Irish coffee during the day and then enjoy it with actual alcohol when the time is right, there’s an easy solution, too. Simply add 1 1⁄2 oz of your favorite Irish Whiskey and stir thoroughly.

Our Thoughts

There is a lot to be said about Fire Department Coffee. All of their coffee is made in small batches and is roasted to the order. This is also a veteran-owned company run by firefighters and first responders. This company has a great mission in their Fire Department Coffee Foundation that was set up in order to help fellow first responders that have been injured on the job, have mental or physical health challenges, or are facing other serious health challenges. Being that my hubby is a first responder, and that we LOVE the Original Medium Roast Fire Department Coffee, this is something that is pretty near and dear to my heart. Fire Department Coffee was very generous sending both the Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee and the Vanilla Bean Bourbon Infused Coffee for us to try out and review. 

I'm not usually a person who enjoys flavored coffees. I usually prefer to stay within the limits of "normal" coffee because I enjoy the taste of it best. That being said, I put my brave face on and brewed my first carafe of Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee this past weekend. I was pleasantly surprised to find that while there was the hint of Irish Whiskey, this coffee was pleasantly flavored and not too strong in the taste of the Irish Whiskey. It was throughly enjoyable and I went back for a second cup! The subtlety of the whiskey along with the toffee, vanilla, and butterscotch made for a wonderful morning drink that I absolutely did not need to add any creamer to. This is one coffee that I will drink straight up black and enjoy time and time again! I am looking forward to my morning coffee on St. Paddy's Day when I'll be using the non-alcoholic Irish Coffee recipe to get my morning started! 

The second choice of coffee that Fire Department Coffee sent was the Vanilla Bean Bourbon Infused. This coffee also did not disappoint. It smelled amazing in the bag and while brewing. Again, like the Irish Whiskey Infused Coffee, the Vanilla Bean Bourbon Infused did not disappoint! This is another coffee that I will gladly drink black. The hint of vanilla bean and bourbon were amazing and made me go get another cup of this brew, too! 

All in all, if you enjoy coffee in any way, I recommend going and checking out Fire Department Coffee. They have a flavor coffee for everyone! This company not only stands out for the coffee that it is producing, but also that they include their coffee stickers in every box shipped. They also have produced their own merchandise so you can proudly display to everyone that Fire Department Coffee is your coffee of choice!  I sincerely look forward to enjoying more coffee through this amazing company!

The Children's PLACE celebrates St. Patty's Day

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and kids are already plotting their green outfits. Let your little leprechauns celebrate the holiday in style with looks from The Children’s PLACE. In the spirit of St. Patty’s Day, pair fun shamrock-inspired graphic tees retailing for just $5-$6 with jeans, leggings or chinos. With such stylish and affordable options, the Children’s PLACE is your one-stop shop for seasonal gear that won’t break the bank.

My two little ones were thrilled to get a chance to model some of the adorable fashion tees from Children's place. For my son, we received a really classic IRISH tee complete with green shamrock. I love these tees because they are made from soft cotton, never have itchy tags in the back, and always hold up well when washed.

For my daughter, we received an equally adorable Irish Princess Tee. This is just too cute. At the tip of the shamrock is a little white heart, and the letters are spelled out in pink glitter. It's the perfect way for a little girl to display her Irish pride without compromising her love of all things feminine.  Both of these tees can be paired with any of the jeans or khakis available at Children's Place. There are also lots of other options to choose from. Here are a few more of my favorites.
