by HollySaint Patrick’s Day is such a fun time of the year! It is a signal that spring is near, a great chance to break the routine and celebrate the Irish heritage and to embrace some delicious foods, treats, and cocktails! This year, why not serve your friends an unforgettable cup of Irish Coffee after your Saint Patrick’s Day meal?
This recipe is easy to prepare and it is really perfect for any day of the year when you could benefit from both a drink and a cup of coffee! It is sweet, strong and packs a decadent kick! We love to have an Irish Coffee on both chilly nights and after especially busy days!
You can substitute Bailey’s Irish Cream in place of the whiskey if you prefer, but keep in mind that this variation isn’t the traditional favorite. It is, however, delicious!
