Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I have already shared an Irish-themed main meal, bread, baked good, and sweet treat so I thought this time around a drink was in order!
Fine Wine & Good Spirits sent me this really yummy spin on an Irish coffee called the Clover Cocktail, which is frozen instead of hot.
Ingredients (makes 1 serving; multiply as needed):
- 1 oz. Irish whiskey
- 1 oz. Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 oz. Kahlúa
- 1 oz. espresso
- 1 cup ice (~6 ice cubes)
- whipped cream
- chocolate shavings
To make the chocolate shavings, take a chocolate bar that has been refrigerated and use a vegetable peeler to peel off chunks of the chocolate bar. Add to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare your espresso and refrigerate until cool.
When ready to make, add the whiskey, Baileys, Kahlua, espresso, and ice to a blender and blend until creamy.
Pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Maybe having an iced beverage in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day will force spring to come faster… although it did snow this morning in Philadelphia… I can dream!
The drink is smooth and creamy and really hits the spot. I love the addition of Kahlua to the mix to really amp up the coffee flavor. Yum!
