The second alcoholic drink day of the year is also whiskey based so I didn’t need to buy anything for today. I have a bottle of Baileys so I specifically looked up a Baileys Irish Coffee recipe and came across this one. I checked out the ingredients and figured I could do a bit of adapting. I don’t like cream so I decided to skip it and the Bailey’s is already vanilla flavoured so I could skip the vanilla.
Apparently though for some reason I can’t entirely explain after the fact, I chose to completely ignore the instructions (despite the minimal effort it would have taken to just scroll down the page a few inches) and got to work.
I poured the whiskey into a glass, added coffee and then went about floating Baileys on top assuming that that must be the white layer.
So yeah, surprisingly to me at the time and not at all surprisingly with the smallest amount of hindsight this was the final result. Pretty much the inverse of the look I was going for. Do you know what though it was delicious.
Irish Coffee...8/10 would drink again. (Wouldn’t serve to anyone that cared about presentation though)
