January 25 was National Irish Coffee Day. RP & Associates' Ashley Pola teamed up with Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey and Fadò Irish Pub in Chicago to set the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Irish Coffee in order to observe and celebrate the holiday.

RP & Associates helped coordinate and manufacture the 7 foot glass for the World's Largest Irish Coffee, which was actually made out of an acrylic. "It held 162 bottles of Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey, 140 gallons of coffee, 30 lbs of sugar, and 40 gallons of cream," said Ashley Pola, National Account Executive at RP & Associates; she added that "a special ingredient had to be added to make sure the 40 gallons of cream floated on top".
