Clover Cocktail

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, this Clover Cocktail!

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

Guinness Cupcakes with Baileys Frosting

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to test out my recipe for Guinness Cupcakes with Baileys Frosting before the big day to make sure it didn’t need any tweaking.

Guinness cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes that use a dark stout to enhance the flavor.

To keep with the theme, I decided to also make Bailey’s frosting.

Ingredients (makes 24 cupcakes)

Guinness Cupcakes:

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 12 oz bottle of Guinness (or any other dark stout) – if your bottle is more than this, just measure out 12 oz
  • 1 (4 oz) stick of butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Baileys Frosting:

  • 2 (4 oz) sticks of butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar
