St. Patrick’s Day is just a week away, and this single day makes mouths water for unique, boozy beverages. This booze-infused coffee recipe from Red Diamond uses bourbon, but Irish whiskey can be substituted for an Irish coffee. The drink is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an after dinner dessert drink. The possibilities are countless.
