Last night, the love of my life mentioned that he would love an Irish coffee. I have to stop right here: I am neither a coffee drinker nor a big spirits drinker. When it comes to drinks – I like water, milk and orange juice. Oh – and vanilla milk. Boring? You bet.<\/p>\n

But I rose to the challenge.<\/p>\n

\"Irish<\/a><\/p>\n

Coffee snobs – turn away now. I’ve made this drink from instant coffee! My love appreciates a great cup of brewed coffee but is also quite content with an instant coffee. As a result we only have instant coffee at home, so this what I had to work with. I hear a rumor though, that this is how many of the Irish make theirs!<\/p>\n

After looking at a few recipes, he told me that a perfect Irish Coffee, for him, is minty but not chocolaty. It has black coffee at the bottom and cream on top. I didn’t find any recipes that matched his desires, but surely I could do that!<\/p>\n

\"Irish<\/a><\/p>\n

So here is my version of Irish Coffee – made just the way my love likes it. It has Jameson Irish Whiskey, Peppermint Schnapps, Instant Coffee, Brown Sugar and Whipped Cream.<\/p>\n

Irish Coffee is my love’s go-to drink after a long day while travelling for work.   It looks like now it could be the perfect drink after any hard day.<\/p>\n
