St Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the holiday than with this Homemade Irish Cream. If there’s one liqueur I really love, it’s got to be Irish Cream. I enjoy sipping it plain, or stirred into a nice, hot cup of coffee. I should probably warn you though – this recipe makes a rather strong liqueur, so you may need to adjust the amount of whiskey you add a bit. I would start with adding one cup of whiskey, and then adding up to 1/2 cup more -depending on your taste.

Now even though I enjoy Irish Cream “as-is”, I’m not planning on drinking all of this liqueur. I plan on using at least some of it in a couple of treats that I plan on baking in the next few days. Of course, I’ll post the recipes and photos of the baked goods here on my blog, once I finish making them, so stay tuned…

~Enjoy~
