Happy St. Patrick's Day! I've got some Irish in my family background but even if you don't, everyone's Irish today! I was looking for something fun to share and I found Rebecca L's Creamy Irish coffee on the Taste of Home website.
It's a super simple recipe. You start by brewing your favorite coffee and then you add in some Irish cream liqueur. We've always got Baileys on hand, it's in a lot of our favorite cocktails.
In each of four mugs, pour 6 ounces of coffee and one ounce of Baileys. Stir well. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. I used Lindt dark chocolate and grated it on my Microplane.
Is there a right time to drink Irish coffee? Yep, whenever you want. It's a great after dinner coffee, or morning coffee, it's a nice afternoon pick me up. Sláinte!
Wherever you go and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish be there with you.
