Now even if you can't get to Florida (let alone Ireland) you can bring the food home. The book is chock full of countless traditional and not so traditional Irish fare, not to mention enough potent potable drinks to keep the party rolling for years!

The recipes are are simple and easy to prepare, yet creative. For a sampling, try Davey Byrnes Cheese Fondue, fresh baked Onion Rye Rolls, Irish Whiskey Steak, Gaelic Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Whiskey Praline Ice Cream, or Tipsy Apricot Chocolate Cake. How about topping it off with a mug of McGuire's Frozen Irish Coffee?
