Clare pub offers FREE espresso martinis for St Patrick's Day, but there's a catch!

Cocktail lovers in Clare can rejoice this St Patrick’s Day with the release of Kahlúa’s ‘schneaky’ espresso martini glass!

Disguised to look like a pint of stout, the specially designed hand-blown glass sneakily conceals an espresso martini inside a pint glass. The crafty solution was created following research which revealed that cocktail lovers feel “St Patrick’s Day pressure” to drink stout – even if they don’t savour its flavour. 

The brand has enlisted former England rugby star and devout stout drinker James Haskell to raise awareness of the schneaky espresso martini glass – showing that even the most loyal fans of stout can sip undercover.

Mr Haskell said, “For any punters looking to avoid an unwanted pint of stout, Kahlúa has got you covered. The schneaky espresso martini glass means you can enjoy the deliciously indulgent cocktail you crave, without the fear of being judged.”

On Sunday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17, Kahlúa is giving away FREE schneaky espresso martinis in its bespoke glasses exclusively at O’Loclainn’s in Ballyvaughan.

Customers can try the undercover glass for free by ordering a “schneaky espresso martini” at the bar.

Craig van Niekerk, VP of Marketing for Kahlúa, said, “No one should feel pressured to drink stout this St. Patrick’s Day, so why not sneakily whisper slainté with our schneaky espresso martini glass? At Kahlúa, we’re always looking to stir up traditions with a touch of playfulness to ensure everyone gets to celebrate the shamrock festivities with a drink they enjoy – even if it’s on the sly.”

Mags, sixth generation publican of O’Loclainn’s said, “Nothing says St Patrick's day like a bit of craic and the best dark rich sips in town. Come for a session and try some on the house!”
