Main: Saucy shiraz shepherds pie

We love these individual saucy shiraz shepherd's pies, or you can make a pot of hearty Irish beef stew,  served with a side of herbed cheddar soda bread — perfect for soaking up those juices left on your plate!

Tipple: Whiskey cream liqueur

Our homemade whisky cream liqueur (inspired by our favourite Irish cream) only takes 10 min to make! Make a batch before the party to serve as an after-dinner tipple (bonus: it keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks).
