Irish Coffee

A warm Irish coffee at the end of the day can really turn your world around.

The sun FINALLY came out and I swear I feel like a completely new person. I could also attribute this newfound positivity to a large cup of Irish coffee…

In the winter, whether it is bright and sunny or gloomy, the cold weather has me gravitating towards anything that will bring me comfort. This includes, but certainly isn’t limited to electric blankets, fleece pjs, candles, and puppy snuggles. 

Or a cocktail that will warm my insides. Yep, that’ll do the trick every time!

I love giving my Irish coffees an extra thick helping of lightly whipped heavy cream. It’s the way I would prefer to put cream in my coffee every day. Forever.

Plus I look super cute with a whipped cream mustache.

At least that’s what I like to tell myself… 🙂
