We know Irish coffee is a top treat and Baileys Irish cream is hugely popular but how about you put those two together and add some fresh cold cream!
A post on Reddit for "Irish coffee, with Baileys whipped cream", got huge attention in 2022 and we can't blame the community, "the front page of the internet". This looks like a genius idea for a cocktail!
While the Reddit post doesn't supply a recipe, we think this would be a glorious post-dinner dessert drink.
The Reddit community clearly agrees that this drink looks great. Just some of the comments include:
"And I call this one, 'as close as you can get to Bailey's without getting your eyes wet.'"
"Now that's what I call... SCHLUPPA (looks fecking tops) Slainte, mo chara."
"That'll go good with some waffles on a Sunday."
Here's how we'd go about making it...
