Multiple award-winning singer and songwriter Mariah Carey is making the season brighter twice over this year.

First, she is promoting her Black Irish cream liqueur, which is crafted with aged Irish whiskey and available in three irresistible flavors — Original, Salted Caramel, and White Chocolate. The cordial was recognized by Wine Enthusiast as a Top 100 Spirit of 2023. (The name, Mariah notes, is a playful nod to her Black and Irish lineage: Her father, Alfred Roy, was of Black and Venezuelan descent, while her mother, Patricia, has an Irish background.)

Second, she is bringing her iconic holiday magic to life with Black Irish Holiday Bar pop-ups at Virgin Hotels in select cities, including New York. Guests can enjoy festive photo ops, interactive experiences like a “Letters to Mariah” station, singalongs to 30 years of Mariah’s hit Christmas tunes, and exclusive Black Irish cocktails. Set in a winter wonderland-themed space it’s the perfect way to toast the holidays throughout December.

The price list and other information about Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bar at the Virgin Hotel in New York (1227 Broadway, 4th Floor) can be found at Bucket Listers. Ticket prices, which vary depending on dates and times, start at $22 for general admission.

Note that the Black Irish brand is also offering a limited-edition “Black Irish Holiday Gift Pack,” featuring a full-sized bottle of the original flavor, a mini bottle of Salted Caramel, and a festive mug — an ideal way to spread some holiday cheer.
