Irish Coffee

I thought I might offer you just a bit of inspiration. Its warm and brown. Its sweet and creamy.

Ive always overlooked this cocktail for things with fancy cubed ice, grapefruit infusions, and handmade bitters but the simplicity of this cocktail is no joke! It needs no muss or fuss. It needs no fancy mustached man in a vest and spectacles to make it for you. This can happen right at home on your tiny kitchen counter, and can be enjoyed on your couch while you question your sanity in watching moooore reruns of Jersey Shore.

Im not implying that you have a tiny kitchen counter, that youre crazy, or that youre watching the Jersey Shore. Um Im clearly just talking about myself. Not proud. Just real.

Keep it warm, simple, and full of whiskey. This recipe needs no fancy modification. It is exactly how its supposed to be.

Ps. I love you! Is that weird?
