Ah, summer. That magical time when the days are longer, the drinks are stronger, and the vibes are high. There’s nothing more delightful to an Irish soul than soaking up those extra daylight hours and Mr. Jack Daniel is helping us make the most of it with two amazing Golden Hour events.
The famous bourbon maker is here to sprinkle some Southern charm and hospitality on our summer with these two fabulous events that promise good times, great music, and, naturally, plenty of JD. Even if whiskey isn’t usually your jam, don’t worry, there’s something to tickle everyone’s taste buds and make Jack your new best friend.
Sip Sip Hooray!
Jack is rolling out not just one, but two sensational summer parties. First up, we’re going to Opium in Dublin kicking off at 7pm on Wednesday, August 14th. This is a bash that will slay the hump day blues for an afterwork sunset soirée. Next, revellers can get the weekend started right at the iconic J.M Reidy’s in Killarney on Friday August 23rd with good times rolling from 6pm.
Expect delicious food, drinks, and an electric atmosphere at both shindigs. DJ duo Bella Festa will be serving the tunes while your host for the fun filled evenings is none other than the sensational TV presenter and influencer Katja Mia. She’ll guide you through the evening with her signature flair, leading hands-on cocktail masterclasses where you’ll learn to mix up refreshing summer drinks with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey and Tennessee Apple.
And on that note let’s get to the star of the show — the drinks! Jack Daniel’s is putting two delightful flavors in the spotlight: Jack Honey and Jack Apple. These drinks are summer in a glass, ready to convert even the staunchest non-whiskey drinkers. Plus, if you work up a sweat on the dance floor you can cool off with Jack Daniel’s Honey and Apple flavoured rolled Ice cream and slushies during the night.
Sweet as Honey
Jack Honey is a smooth operator, blending the classic Tennessee whiskey with a luscious honey liqueur made from real honey. Sip it on the rocks for a sweet treat, or better yet, mix it with lemonade for the ultimate summer refresher. It’s like a Tennessee sunset in a glass — warm, sweet, and absolutely dreamy.
An Apple a Day
Take a bite of the Jack Apple. This tastes like a walk through an apple orchard with a delightful tangy kick of apple beautifully balancing Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey. This gorgeous, fruity drink is made using real apples. It’s amazing in cocktails, particularly the frozen variety, but if you need a quick and easy mixed drink, this baby also works amazingly with lemonade.
These events are sure to be the perfect summer celebrations. From shaking up cocktails with Katja to dancing the night away with Bella Festa, the festivities promise to be unforgettable. The kind of summer nights that will warm your heart as the leaves turn and the days grow shorter. Don’t miss out on making memories that will carry you through the autumn and winter months.
These events are for over 18s only. You can grab your tickets for the Opium bash here and the J.M Reidy’s one here. Please enjoy Jack Daniel’s products responsibly.
Cheers!
