Spirits achieved marginal volume growth in Ireland in 2023. While off-trade sales saw a sub-decimal volume decline, this was balanced by small positive growth in on-trade sales. This is supported by mixology trends, alongside the fact that cocktails (and “mocktails”) are becoming more popular as drinks to accompany dinner (as opposed to the more traditional wine). Vodka and tequila (and mezcal) are cited as attracting growing attention in this sense.
