Happy Thanksgiving from the Patriot Party Podcast!

Vlynn's Irish Cream may save your day

I woke up this morning - Mic let me sleep in! - and realized I was entirely out of coffee creamer. The horror! It’s not like I could run to Publix on Thanksgiving morning, and I certainly cannot face family dinner without a cup of coffee. But then I realized that I have my homemade Irish Cream in the back of the fridge, and that’s better than coffee creamer! It’s super simple and quick to make, and better than anything you’ll find in the store…

VLynn’s Irish Cream

1 pint whipping cream

2 14-oz cans of sweetened condensed milk

2 cups of Irish whiskey

1 cup of Fireball

2 Tbl instant expresso

2 Tbl Hershey syrup

1 Tbl vanilla extract

1 Tsp Jamaican allspice

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl or pitcher. Pour into sealable mason jars or bottles. You can drink it immediately but it tastes best after a couple days. Holds in the fridge for up to a month (so I’ve heard...) Enjoy!

*This is the base recipe, but you can get creative! The one I enjoyed this morning had a tablespoon of caramel syrup, a splash of Torani hazelnut syrup and 1/2 cup of butter pecan moonshine, for a good praline flavor. Enjoy!
