Irish Coffee

What better way to spice up your morning on St. Patrick’s Day than with a hit of Irish coffee? Will it wake you up or put you to sleep? I make no promises either way but I can tell you, it tastes great!

Doesn’t work for you? Try a White Leprechaun or an Irish Sour.

Why I Think You’ll Love This Recipe

• The combination of coffee, whiskey and Irish cream make this a delicious post-dinner drink.
• Add some whipped cream and sprinkles to the top and it also doubles as a dessert!

How to Make an Irish Coffee

1. To make this, start with a nice espresso or strong coffee so the taste comes through. You can use one or more ounces depending on the size of the coffee cup but minimum of once is necessary.
2. Now get yourself a good Irish Whiskey. Typically in this instance, I’d recommend Jameson or something similar but there are plenty of options to choose from.
3. You’ll then need an Irish cream.
4. Whip cream to top things off is also important and if you want to get fancy like we did, a few chocolate sprinkles.

This is a delicious coffee with a kick. If you like this drink, try my classic Hot Toddy recipe as well. Enjoy it for breakfast on St. Patrick’s day (or any day, who am I to judge?). It’s best enjoyed with a nice slice of butter and jam on some Irish Soda Bread.

Hope you like it!
