Depending on the type of group your catering for, you will want to have different things. If you’ve got a more adult group, then you definitely need to pull out all the stops: beer, whiskey, and fun! Follow your dinner with an Irish coffee and you’ll have one amazing party.

For an Irish Coffee, you need 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 jigger Irish whiskey, and some whipped cream. Start by heating your class, then pouring your coffee into it until it’s 3/4 full. Add in the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Blend in the whiskey and top with the heavy cream. Enjoy!
If you’re catering to a younger group, then you’ll want to have something more kid-friendly on the menu. There really isn’t anything better than brightly colored drinks!
St. Patrick’s Day Punch

The last thing you’ll want to have is something fun to do. Whether you play group board games (need an idea? try this one or this one!) or are just trying to entertain the little ones, you’ll want to have something to do. If you’re looking for something to do for the littles, then try looking at this older post and modifying for your group of kiddos.
