Make your Own Irish Cream for St. Patrick’s Day
[dropcap2]I[/dropcap2]n honor of St. Patty’s Day, I want to share with you the wonder of making Irish Cream. Homemade Irish cream is decadent and delicious, with a real whiskey kick. I promise you, Baileys will never taste the same again. You can put this in your coffee, drink it from a chilled glass, or bottle it to share with your friends. It is the very definition of adult chocolate milk.

1 tsp almond extract
1 tbsp vanilla extract

any honey recommended: clover, orange blossom? Also, looks like I’ll have to double this recipe so there’s some for other guests.. 😉

it makes about a 750ml bottle. it is very rich so a little goes a long way. I did make 3x recipe and gave away little bottles around Christmas time. I think the orange blossom honey tastes delicious in the mix. It is probably the only one you would taste as the other flavors are pretty strong, so even a less delicate honey would still taste great
