Mum Deserves More & The Irish Deserve a Toast: Mother’s Day and St Patrick’s Day Sorted at Bargain Booze
March is one of those months that quietly brings two of the best reasons to celebrate. One is all about appreciation, gratitude and showing Mum just how much she means. The other is about community, laughter and raising a proper Irish toast.
Mother’s Day and St Patrick’s Day might look very different on the calendar, but they share something important. They are moments that deserve good drinks and good company.
Whether you are planning a thoughtful Mother’s Day lunch, a relaxed brunch at home, or getting ready to celebrate St Patrick’s Day with friends, Bargain Booze has the drinks deals to make both occasions feel special without stretching your budget.
From premium Sauvignon Blanc and organic Prosecco to standout Irish whiskey offers and this month’s floral Cocktail of the Month, here is everything you need to make March memorable.
Mother’s Day Gifting That Feels Premium Without the Premium Price
The best Mother’s Day gifts are simple. They show you’ve thought about what she enjoys. A bottle she would not necessarily buy for herself. Something that elevates a Sunday roast, an afternoon in the garden, or a quiet evening with her favourite programme.
If she loves wine, you cannot go wrong with something fresh, vibrant and recognisable.
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 75cl
Now £9.99, was £10.99, save £1
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc has built its reputation on bright citrus notes, crisp acidity and that unmistakable New Zealand freshness. It is the kind of white wine that feels instantly uplifting.
Serve it chilled alongside seafood, salads or light pasta dishes, and you have the foundation for a Mother’s Day meal that feels carefully planned without being complicated.
At under £10, it delivers restaurant-quality feel at local off licence prices.
Oyster Bay Chardonnay 75cl
Now £9.99, was £10.99, save £1
For mums who prefer something slightly richer, Oyster Bay Chardonnay brings soft peach and stone fruit flavours with subtle oak influence. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, creamy sauces or classic Sunday comfort food.
Both options offer quality that feels premium while still being affordable, making them ideal Mother’s Day wine gifts.
Sparkling That Makes the Moment Feel Special
Few things say celebration quite like bubbles.
If you are planning brunch, afternoon tea or a surprise toast, sparkling wine instantly sets the tone.
Corvezzo Organic Prosecco
Now £8.99, was £12.99, save £4
This is one of the strongest sparkling wine savings in store right now. A £4 reduction on an organic Prosecco means you get quality and sustainability at a genuinely impressive price.
Crisp green apple notes and lively fizz make it perfect for brunch cocktails, light starters or simply raising a glass with family.
Corvezzo Sparkling Rosé
Now £8.99, was £12.99, save £4
Soft pink, gently fruity and beautifully presented, this sparkling rosé brings warmth and elegance to the table. It feels like a celebration before the cork is even popped.
Both bottles look gift-ready without needing extra wrapping, making them ideal if you are picking something up on the way home.
Gin and Vodka Gifts She Will Love
Wine is traditional, but spirits can feel just as thoughtful when chosen well.
Tanqueray Gin 70cl
Now £18.49, was £26.49, save £8
An £8 saving on Tanqueray makes this one of the standout spirit deals this month. Known for its classic juniper-forward flavour and clean finish, Tanqueray is perfect for a traditional G and T with a slice of lime or pink grapefruit.
It is the kind of bottle that feels premium, timeless and reliably good.
JJ Vodka Blue Raspberry 70cl
Now £13.99, was £18.49, save £4.50
JJ Vodka Raspberry 70cl
Now £13.99, was £18.49, save £4.50
For something fruitier and more playful, JJ Vodka offers bold flavour and vibrant colour. These are ideal for simple serves with lemonade or for creating easy cocktails at home.
They bring a sense of fun to Mother’s Day celebrations and are perfect for mums who prefer something sweeter and more contemporary.
Cocktail of the Month: Blossom Rose
If you want to go beyond simply pouring a glass, the Cocktail of the Month offers a way to make Mother’s Day feel even more considered.
Blossom Rose is built around Ophir Spiced Gin, currently £25.99 a bottle. Known for its warm spice profile inspired by exotic botanicals, Ophir brings depth and complexity that pairs beautifully with floral sweetness.
Ingredients
50ml Ophir Spiced Gin
15ml Rose Syrup
Fresh Lemon Juice
Soda Water
Dried Rose Petals
Ice
Method
Add ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour in 50ml Ophir Spiced Gin, 15ml rose syrup and a squeeze of lemon juice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Top with soda water and garnish with dried rose petals.
The result is light, fragrant and perfectly suited to spring. It looks elegant, tastes refreshing and feels like something you would order in a cocktail bar, yet it is simple to recreate at home.
St Patrick’s Day: Raise a Proper Irish Toast
Once Mother’s Day celebrations settle, attention turns to St Patrick’s Day. This is about gathering friends, pouring something smooth and letting the good times flow.
Irish whiskey is central to the occasion, and this year there are some excellent savings to be had.
Irish Whiskey Offers Worth Talking About
Bushmills 70cl
Now £19.99, was £29.99, save £10
A £10 saving on Bushmills is significant. It brings the price down from nearly £30 to under £20, which is a noticeable difference when planning a party or stocking up.
Bushmills is smooth, approachable and versatile. It works just as well neat as it does with ginger ale or in a classic Irish coffee.
For anyone hosting this St Patrick’s Day, this is strong value on a trusted Irish brand.
Jameson 70cl
Now £21.99, was £24.49, save £2.50
Jameson remains one of the most recognisable Irish whiskeys. Smooth and balanced, it is ideal for sipping or mixing into whiskey sours and highballs.
