SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

Saint Patrick’s Day is like Christmas for us. We get a chance to celebrate our Irish heritage, eat corned beef, and drink green beers to our heart’s content. The weather doesn’t seem like it’s going to be cooperating, but after a few Irish whiskies, no one seems to mind if a wintry mix of snow, sleet and rain is pouring from the skies.

When it’s truly freezing and you need a remedy for the chill, we suggest an Irish coffee. They’re easy to make and so warm and delicious, it will immediately put you in the St. Patty’s spirit. After all, everyone is Irish on March 17th!

IRISH COFFEE
1 ½ ounces of Jameson Irish Whiskey
4 ounces of strong brewed coffee
½ cup of heavy whipping cream
1 ½ tsp of sugar (or to taste)
In a mug combine hot coffee and whiskey. In a cold shaker pour in heavy whipping cream and sugar and shake until cream becomes thick – don’t over-whip or you’ll end up with butter! Top the coffee mixture with the sweetened whipped cream. Enjoy!
ERIN GO BRAUGH!
