When Nick and I went to
Sunday River last winter for a weekend getaway I was craving the drink I always get slope-slide - the
Nutty Irishman - but for some reason it was not on the menu! I was a bit crushed, wondering if I had just dreamed about this drink as it had been a few years since I had it. However, one night I saw it on the bar menu as we were on our way out the door (of course!) and noted the ingredients for later.
Naturally, travelling through New Hampshire, a stop at the
State Liquor Store is a must! If you haven't made the trip across the border - go, its totally worth it. Nick and I walked out with just about every liquor they had, including
Bailey's and
Frangelico for the sole purpose of making some Nutty Irishman. This past weekend when Nick and I were home prepping the food for the
Superbowl, we decided to break out the ingredients and dress up our coffee a bit - Sunday Funday, right?

The Ingredients |
The Necessities...
- 1 cup of coffee
- 1 shot of Bailey's
- 1 shot of Frangelico
Basically, to put these drinks together, we simply brewed some coffee, added a shot of each liquor and had a nice drink! I will say, I think these cute
monogrammed mugs make it taste better - yes, Nick has an "N" mug. These were my first Valentine's day gift to him. I have only ever had the "E" mug and he the "N" - I think switching would throw everything off!

This coffee drink is perfect for a lazy weekend (even if its not noon). I mean, it's coffee with flavored cream, right?!? Even better is to drink one (or two) of these slope-slide after a cold morning of skiing. But, this Saturday they are saying snow, so why not curl up with a Nutty Irishman? It will definitely warm you up.
What is your go-to winter drink?
So good! This is definitely one of my favorite coffee drinks!

ReplyDeleteI never think to make Nutty Irishmans! I'm on a dirty martini kick lately.
ReplyDeleteOoooh so yum! As a NH native, the need to stop at the "booze barn" whenever you cross the border really resonates!
