Cocktail Friday: A Little Irish Luck, Homemade Baileys Irish Cream

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, we decided to make homemade Irish Cream. It is incredibly simple to make and once you have had the homemade version you will never buy it again. Several recipes said you can replace the whiskey with vodka if you prefer but we decided to stick with Irish whiskey.

In about 5 minutes you will have your own bottle of homemade Irish Cream. Start with your favorite Irish Whiskey, add in some cream, sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. Blend for a few minutes and you are done! Serve over ice or splash a little in your coffee.
