The BEST Irish Coffee

I really didn't find the time to write any Thanksgiving posts, so today I'll try to make up for it. We absolutely love Irish Coffee, probably because we are obsessed with whiskey and Bailey's (preferably together)! These are pretty over priced at most restaurants, so we went to Costco and bought huge bottles of both. ;) We also found a set of coffee mugs for $1 each, at Ross (talk about a bargain).

We try never to skimp on our coffee, grinding only as needed and freezing the whole beans to keep them super fresh. Adam and I love World Market & Trader Joe's coffee best, as both are really yummy and affordable. Also, we don't own a coffee maker, we press it each time and I promise you, with these 3 steps (freezing, grinding, pressing), you will absolutely taste a difference and may even obtain a new appreciation for the stuff! So here are the proportions we found to work best for Irish Coffee:

Pour yourself a healthy cup of coffee. Add 1 tablespoon of whiskey (we use Jameson because that's what the Irish do!) and 1 tablespoon of Bailey's. Top with whip cream. (you can make your own using heavy cream which we didn't do in the photo below, but have before). There you have it. Super easy, the proportions taste just perfect, definitely not too strong but just right. This just reminds me of the holidays so we've been drinking it most Saturday mornings for the last few weeks now. Hope you like it too. :)
