Irish Coffee Recipe the SweetPea Way!

St. Patrick’s Day is NOT cancelled this year. Not on our watch. It’s just going to look a little different!

Yes, we will be foregoing our annual pub crawls and St. Patrick’s Day parades, but that doesn’t mean we’re skipping a day of partying! (Because you KNOW we aren’t going to skip a party.)

So, get your green on, turn on some Irish classics, slice the corned beef, chill your Guinness and grab a bottle of Jameson because where about to get festive AF.

When we started thinking about how to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at home, we knew we wanted to include one of the most iconic Irish cocktails: the Irish coffee. Irish coffee is the perfect combination of everyone’s two favorite things, coffee and booze. It’s super simple to make because it only requires 4 simple ingredients: hot coffee, sugar, heavy cream and of course, Irish whiskey!

But what would happen if we kicked this Irish classic up a notch? Let’s say… Irish coffee the SweetPea way?

Say no more.

Our Irish coffee recipe is perfect for those who love to POP OFF on St. Patrick’s Day. We leveled up this already sinful little cocktail into something naughtier by making it guilt-free

This recipe is easy, simple and delicious on it’s own, but also makes a great base for all Irish coffee variations:

Garnish. Top with chocolate shavings, caramel or cinnamon for a little extra fun.

Caffeine-free. Substitute your regular joe with decaffeinated coffee to enjoy this drink without the jitters.

Chilled. Prefer your coffee-flavored cocktails served cold? Serve using cold brew poured over ice.

Virgin. If booze isn’t your thing or you want an alcohol-free delicious dessert drink, leave out the whiskey!
