In honor of National Irish Coffee Day tomorrow, I thought I would celebrate it by having...what else...an Irish Coffee. I made this, this past Friday and it was the perfect ending to a long work week. And talk about the perfect sip! You get a little bit of dark coffee and a little bit of sweetness from the whipped cream making it the perfect drink. And then when your coffee is all gone there is a bonus, that's right the Irish whiskey infused whipped cream, go ahead, get a spoon, I won't tell. Happy National Irish Coffee Day!
