A bold, robust coffee swirls alongside a dreamy Irish cream, a splash of hazelnut liqueur and a gorgeous Irish whiskey delivering its spicy notes and hints of fruit to this warm, luscious cocktail. Serve it up in a glass with a smear of hazelnut and cocoa spread tucked inside, slowly melting under the warmth of the coffee. Then finish with a dollop of whipped cream on top! This might be the perfect cocktail to sip with a wink and a nod on St. Patrick’s Day.
The Nutty Irishman could be considered a decked out version of the classic Irish coffee. It too starts with a dark roast coffee and a pour of smooth Irish whiskey. Then it takes a turn by stirring in Bailey’s Irish Cream and a touch of a hazelnut liqueur. Tucked inside you’ll find an extra note of lusciousness, with the inside of the glass wrapped with a swish of hazelnut and cocoa spread.
Then all that’s needed to button up this decadent cocktail up is a generous spoonful of sweetened whipped cream.
Per an old Irish proverb, “a good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures”. And maybe this drink to warm your soul!
