HOW TO MAKE IRISH COFFEE
Irish Coffee is a great drink after a long day or for a brunch with friends. If you are not into any kind of alcohol, just disregard this recipe. St. Patrick’s Day and Christmas are two times during the year that I enjoy this drink but this coffee is good anytime. Make yourself a cup and try this recipe. I think you will be surprised how good it is and if you are a coffee lover this is a wonderful variation to add to your coffee recipes.
