This delicious recipe from Mary's Whole Life is one of our favorites!

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 oz vodka
• 2 oz kahlua
• 3 oz freshly brewed espresso (cooled) or cold brew coffee
• 2 oz half & half
• 1/4 tsp peppermint extract

FOR RIMS:

• Crushed candy canes
• Chocolate syrup

 

Dip the rim of 2 martini glasses in some chocolate syrup to coat, then dip them in the crushed candy canes.


Fill a shaker halfway with ice. Add the vodka, kahlua, espresso, creamer, and peppermint extract. Shake well for 60 seconds. Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 glasses and top with 3 espresso beans each.

2) Nutty Irish Coffee  🥃

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 oz baileys
• 1 oz frangelico
• 1 oz Irish whiskey
• 4 oz fresh coffee (like our Christmas Blend)
• Dollop of baileys whipped cream (instructions below)
• Dash of nutmeg

Baileys Whipped Cream:

• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 oz baileys
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

 

First, with a stand mixer, combine all whipped cream ingredients on a speed setting of 4 (to reduce splatter), then move to 6 right away. Keep an eye on it, it will fluff up pretty quickly! Scoop into a ziploc bag! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

 

Then 

Combine baileys, Irish whiskey, and frangelico in your coffee mug. Add hot coffee & top with baileys whipped cream. Sprinkle with nutmeg and enjoy! ☕️
