It doesn’t take the Luck o’ the Irish to run a great St. Patrick’s Day promotion. McCormick has developed tips and recipes for festive celebrations – including ideas for using food color to tint food and drinks green.

“Irish or not, St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday everyone loves to celebrate,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens.

Get Car-Away-ed with Irish Flavor
Caraway is a classic ingredient in Irish cuisine. Add caraway to sips and sides for more authentic party fare:

Caraway Cheese Spread – Add an Irish touch to cheese spread by stirring in caraway seeds – it’s a cinch to prepare.

Irish Soda Bread – A simple quick bread, try either a Traditional or Irish Cheddar version for a delicious side to your savory dinners.
