    Double Irish Trouble {adult milkshake}

    As we near St. Patrick’s Day, I’m brimming with inspiration for fun food to celebrate. Some are actual recipes I’ve gotten while traveling in Ireland, and others a more whimsical take for the holiday.

    Much of my travel to Ireland was before I was gluten-free so I was able to taste freshly brewed Guinness and Harp beers, the latter being produced in a town close to where I’d frequent on business travel.

    I had never liked dark beer, finding them brooding and commanding in a way that was off putting to my delicate taste buds.

    Tasting freshly brewed Guinness was a different beer entirely however. It was creamy and deep with flavor that I loved.

    My Irish friends always maintained ‘Guinness doesn’t travel’ and until the manufacture of the canned Guinness with ‘the widget’ that allows the beer to develop a head more like that of a Guinness on draught, I will say I must agree.

    Of course who wouldn’t rather drink it in Ireland anyway?

    Other than the well-known beer, Irish whiskey is also at the forefront. I had the opportunity to take a Whiskey Tasting workshop last fall at our local Irish and Scottish Festival and learned a lot about the effects of the location on the flavor of the whiskey.

    Whether a whiskey drinker or not, I’m sure an Irish Coffee (coffee with Irish whiskey, sugar and cream) or a Hot Toddy are familiar.

    Now that I’m gluten-free it’s one of these I sip on St. Paddy’s Day.

    In the spirit of these spirits I decided to create an adult milkshake for St. Patrick’s Day (which by the way my friends in Ireland always find funny since historically the holiday was a much more pious one than our U.S. green-beer guzzling celebrations entail).

    It’s a take on an Irish Coffee with an extra addition of Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur.

    It’s delicious I promise, and might even have you dancing an Irish jig by the end!

      I don’t drink coffee but don’t mind a scoop of coffee ice cream every now and then. This I’d happily enjoy! Also I agree with you, there’s nothing like Guinness in Ireland, yet I don’t seem to enjoy it as much here in the States.

        I hope that’s a good ‘gulp’; like you’d drink it in one gulp (which I wouldn’t recommend)! It’s good for drinking a pub-speed, over lots of laughter with friends!
