It snowed today (16 March 2002) so I needed a neat soul soother - look at the contents, what can I say - I am pleasantly buzzed, content and ready for bed! Thanks Gay -
Made these at the cottage last night. Delicious! At one point we substituted the white sugar for brown sugar and it was really good, too. You could think of trying this for a change. Both ways were delicious. -
DH loves the specialty coffee beverages and I find them rather expensive to purchase so I recently convinced him I could make more variety myself and spend a lot less money doing this. Tonight I made this and rather than stop at the usual (price limiting) one cup, he asked for a second cup when he'd finished the first. He told me, 'this is really good!' Of course, I had to join him in a second cup myself although I cut back on the whiskey in the second cups. I've found in the past that whiskey will usually kick a cold for me so I thought this just might do the trick with the one I've got now, which would be great since I've got my son's graduation and reception to host tomorrow! Thanks for sharing a pleasant and relaxing treat Gay! -
I didn't know Irish coffee was so easy to make (especially when you subsitute the real whipped cream for the kind in the bottle!!) Thanks for the recipe! -
DH gave this a 5+ star rating. He said it "warmed his belly". I wish I could have "LATE night coffee" but it keeps me up.:( He always gets all the fun. :) Thanks for posting. Made for "Comfort Cafe" tag game 2009

This coffee packs a punch! I used some low suagr french vanilla coffee creamer instead of cream and splenda sweetener. A bit too strong for my liking, but thats just me.

I'm really just learning how to cook, but I hope that my skills at eating will really guide me in this endeavor. ;-) I think that sharing recipes on the internet is better than any cookbook. Of course, I founded Recipezaar, so I might be a little biased.
