The cold weather is back and I am not happy. I am starting to think that "Spring" is just some mythical season that people talk about so they can make it through Winter. This weather is totally throwing off my planning though. I am usually really good about seasonal changes, but when it is 70 one day and snowing the next, it makes it hard to plan meals. We also hate how much our thermostat is changing, I feel like we are using so much energy!
After fighting the cold, freezing rain all day, I just wanted something warm when I got home. In honor of St. Patrick's Day this week, I decided to make an Irish Coffee to thaw myself out (and relax me after a stressful day). The last time I had one, I was with the Hubby in San Francisco. We decided to take a stroll around Fisherman's Wharf and stop in at Buena Vista Cafe, which is famous for its Irish coffee. We both love coffee, whiskey and cream so it sounded like the perfect combination....and it was! The cafe shares the iconic recipe on the website for all to try.
Enjoy and stay warm! Oh....and GO PACK!!!
Recipe from Beuna Vista Cafe
Yields: 1 drink
Fill a glass coffee cup with hot water to warm the glass.
Pour in hot coffee into warm glass until it is about 2/3 full. Stir in 2 sugar cubes or about 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and then stir in a jigger (or shot) of Irish whiskey.
Top with lightly whipped cream by pouring it gently over a spoon. Enjoy while hot!
