Timeless Luxury meets Irish Craftsmanship: Raise a Glass with The Doyle Collection and Waterford
This March, The Doyle Collection and Waterford invite you to raise a glass to Irish Heritage Month with a partnership that captures the very essence of Irish artistry and excellence.
Founded in 1783, the historic Irish brand, Waterford, is renowned worldwide for its crystal glassware and home décor. As an Irish, family-owned hotel group, The Doyle Collection shares Waterford’s values of timeless luxury, heritage and elegance - a partnership that authentically showcases Irish culture, craftsmanship and hospitality in all its glory.
Alongside these bespoke creations, the outlets across the group will be serving a selection of Irish cheese toasties, Guinness bread, Irish coffee, Guinness cake and seafood chowder. Together, the Waterford cocktails offer the perfect opportunity to soak up Irish tradition and warm hospitality this March, whether you’re staying local or visiting The Doyle Collection further afield.
The Destinations:
The Sidecar at The Westbury, Dublin
Enjoyed in Dublin, where Irish whiskey craftsmanship feels instinctive, Waterford’s Honey Psalm is made with Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey, Valentia Island Vermouth, lemon juice and honey. It is an elegant yet welcoming cocktail, offering a refined expression of Irish hospitality that feels both grounded and celebratory - fitting for The Doyle Collection’s flagship.
The Coral Room and The Bloomsbury Club at The Bloomsbury, London
In the intimate, low-lit setting of The Bloomsbury Club, the experience becomes quietly immersive, drawing attention to the texture, aroma and depth of the serve. Waterford’s Atlantic Psalter combines Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey with Guinness reduction, Tio Pepe Fino Sherry, Red Irish Sea Moss tincture and chocolate bitters, a cocktail where layered complexity unfolds beautifully in hand-cut crystal.
Upstairs, the mood is more expressive, lending itself to a cocktail designed for shared moments and lingering conversation. Served in Waterford crystal, Waterford’s Blackwater Velvet mixes Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey with Cadello liqueur, Irish Malt Whiskey Cream, Karminia, red vermouth, chocolate liqueur and hojicha sparkling tea, creating a rich yet playful drink.
K Bar at The Kensington, London
At The Kensington, a sense of ease and balance defines the experience, making it an ideal setting for a fresh, herbaceous cocktail that celebrates flavour. Waterford’s Green Shoots made with Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey, Karminia, vermouth and Green Chartreuse feels lifted and precise, its crisp profile heightened by the tactile pleasure of Waterford crystal.
108 Brasserie at The Marylebone, London
At 108 Brasserie, the unhurried pace encourages guests to notice the finer details, from aromatics to the play of light through crystal. Waterford’s Lucky Charm is a mix of Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey, Carpano Antica Formula, Southern Comfort, Maraschino Cherry Syrup, Angostura Bitters and Peychaud’s bitters, resulting in a smooth, spirit-forward cocktail with an easy, approachable charm.
Doyle at The Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C.
Enjoying an Irish whiskey cocktail in Washington, D.C. highlights the global reach of Irish craftsmanship, anchored by the familiar weight of Waterford glasses. Waterford’s Crimson Quay blends Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey, Waterford Single Malt Whiskey, Fonseca Tawny Port, sweet vermouth and orange vermouth, offering a rich, composed serve that feels generous and assured.
The River Lee, Cork
In Cork, the experience feels naturally rooted, where local influence and Irish tradition meet. Served in Waterford’s Lismore glasses, Waterford’s Poetry and Rebellion pairs Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey with housemade apple and fig vermouth crafted using local Kinsale Meade, delivering a thoughtful, expressive finish.
