St Patrick’s Day is just around the corner.  Here’s a great twist on a popular Irish drink:

Bailey’s Sundae Coffee Drink (serves 6)

12 cups brewed coffee

1 pint French vanilla ice cream (homemade is best!)

12 fluid ounces Irish cream liqueur

Brew 12 cups of coffee. While the coffee is brewing, fill each cup with a scoop of ice cream. Be sure to use large cups (the oversize types you get at coffee houses are best).

Top each scoop of ice cream with just enough Irish cream so that the ice cream looks lightly coated.

When the coffee is brewed, pour it so that each cup is filled up about halfway. It is then up to each individual to add more Irish cream, half-and-half or sugar to taste.

This is an excellent twist on the idea of the ice cream float because you don’t have to worry about the ice cream melting — you want it to melt!
