25 Boozy St. Patrick's Day Desserts to Celebrate the Holiday

Baileys and whiskey go well with practically everything.

Sure, we all love to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a green cocktail (or better, a pint of Guinness). But we say the best way to celebrate is to mix the spirits with sugar and whip up a good boozy dessert on St. Paddy's Day this year. Wouldn't you enjoy the rich, toasty taste of a Guinness stout more if it was baked into fudgy chocolate brownies with a thick layer of ganache? Or a dollop of Irish whiskey if it were enriching a slide of sweet, creamy butterscotch-covered bread pudding? We thought so. These boozy treats are just what you need to celebrate the day even after you've finished the main course of your St. Patrick's Day food spread. Who wouldn't want to sink their teeth into a fluffy green beer mug cupcake or enjoy a big spoonful of minty Baileys chocolate cream pie? Of course, no one would stop you from serving an Irish coffee alongside a big slice of Irish coffee chocolate cake.

You've decorated your home to the nines with St. Patrick's Day decorations and cooked up all that corned beef and cabbage, so you might as well keep the theme going strong all the way until dessert. Whether you've got a hankering for cake, brownies, cupcakes, or even a delectable Irish bread pudding, these diverse recipes have exactly what you need. The perfect St. Paddy's Day party is right around the corner with these delicious, easy St. Patrick's Day dessert recipes.
