Happy St Patrick’s Day!
You don’t have to twist my arm to get me drinking traditional Irish Coffee the morning before the Irish Channel Parade in New Orleans. I’m Cajun-Irish! But let’s be honest, it’s a harsh drink. And I thought it needed some sexin’ up. So I decided to blend parts of the classic recipes for Cajun Coffee and Irish Coffee and I think it works very well. You’ll end up caffeinated, inebriated, and pleasured. Bottoms up, chers!
Ingredients
1 shot Irish whiskey
2 cups brewed Coffee with Chicory
1 tbsp Molasses
Whipped cream
Cayenne pepper
Ok, get your ingredients together. These are the main players. Make sure your coffee has chicory in it, and make sure your whiskey has Irish bollocks in it.
Put 1 tbsp molasses in bottom of mug. Beautiful black sticky sweetness…
Then add 1 shot Irish whiskey (Oh shuddup, this ain’t for sissies.)
Then in goes the coffeeeee. Mmmm, the smell of mommy’s two favorite drugs banging like bunnies!
And now for yet more decadence – put some whipped cream on top. I highly recommend making your own because it’s easy and far more delicious, but the canned kind with the spout (you know, the one that makes your husband devilishly grin when he finds it in the refrigerator) works just fine.
Finally, sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top, DELICATELY. I’m not responsible for your pain, that’s your wife’s job.
Et voila! Enough Irish to kick your ass, enough French to make you beg for more.
I recommend stirring it well before drinking, lest you get a ‘layer’ of alcohol. Buvez!

Sounds delicious – if only I didn’t have a crazy day today. Might be great for the upcoming VDH3 campout though. :)
Yum!! i’m going to have to whip this one up!
i’m likin’ your new set up here! very snappy!
oh, and it being mid march… get those wacker’s out and start cutting back all dead ‘stuff’ in your garden.
it’s time, seesta.
This definitely makes the “now available year round” menu of my life.
Knock, knock.
“May I borrow a shot of Jameson’s?”
I don’t drink “hard likker” but thinking I might buy a bottle just for this mouth-watering concoction.
@Termite: Thanks! And yes, I’m already on the gardens – stripped them down this past weekend. Can’t wait to replant now :-)
@Charlotte: No, but you can HAVE a shot of Jameson ;-) If you don’t like likker at all then you probably won’t like this drink, as yummy as it is. It has a hell of a beautiful afterburn :-)
Your kitchen is so freakin pretty. You should just set up a little studio there a do a show.
This is one of the many varied reasons I love you!
