Cobblestone Brands Unveils Irished Up: The World’s First Cold Brew Irish Coffee in a Can

BOSTON (February 26, 2026) - Cobblestone Brands announces the launch of Irished Up, the world’s first cold brew Irish Coffee in a can, created to meet surging global demand for premium, spirits-based RTDs and coffee cocktails. 

Crafted using the richest Single Origin Colombian coffee beans, roasted and cold-brewed before being slowly married with small-batch Irish Single Malt Whiskey, Irished Up is infused with nitro for a signature creamy head when poured. Irished Up is dairy-free and gluten-free. At 12.5% ABV and just 100 calories, it delivers a modern, craft cocktail bar-style Irish Coffee experience in a portable, ready-to-enjoy format. Best enjoyed chilled, well shaken, and poured into a cold glass.

“The reaction to Irished Up has been phenomenal and has exceeded our expectations. Week by week, distribution is expanding, reorders are accelerating, and real momentum is building,” said Donal O’Gallachoir, Head of Commercial, US.

“Consumers are initially intrigued when they see Irished Up - they quickly understand the concept and want to pick it up. But it’s when they pour it, watch the nitro settle, and take that first sip that it truly wins them over. We’re incredibly proud of that response,” continued O’Gallachoir.

Irished Up is available in sleek 200ml cans, sold individually and in four-packs (SRP $15.99 per four-pack). The brand is now available across Greater Boston at leading retailers including Julio’s Liquors, Yankee Spirits, Kappy’s Fine Wine & Spirits, Liquor World, Bin Ends, Wines & More, Wild Duck, Gary’s Liquors, AJ Luke’s, Luke’s Liquors and all good retailers.

“Irished Up was years in the making, driven by an unrelenting focus on quality ingredients and delivering a genuine craft cocktail experience. That commitment to authentic taste is clearly resonating with consumers,” said O’Gallachoir. 

“Boston is one of the great coffee cities in the world, and Irished Up sits right at the intersection of coffee culture and premium whiskey. We see a clear opportunity for Irished Up to become the definitive ‘whiskey and coffee’ proposition within the fast-growing RTD category.”

Cobblestone Brands believes Irished Up represents a strategic opportunity to build a new premium RTD platform centred on Ireland’s most famous cocktail. To assess international appeal, the brand was showcased at TFWA Cannes, Bar Convent Berlin, and Whisky Live Singapore. Across all three shows, feedback from trade buyers, distributors, and travel retail partners was overwhelmingly positive. Cobblestone Brands will expand the launch into over a dozen U.S. markets throughout 2026.
