This Baileys Irish Coffee recipe will warm the cockles of your heart

IRISH COFFEE can take many different forms but something always stays the same: it's warm, boozy and uncommonly good.

This particular twist on the Emerald Isle favourite combines the classic recipe with another Irish favourite.

Baileys has a history to rival that of the original Irish coffee.

More importantly, it's unmistakably Irish, making this recipe something approaching gospel.

A riff on the classic formula, this recipe may require a couple of additional purchases but, as they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Or should that be the Irish coffee? Try this Baileys-infused version - which comes from the Irish cream giants themselves - and decide for yourself.

WARNING: There's lots of alcohol in this one, so go steady.

Here's what you'll need:

  • 50 ml Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur
  • 110 ml Coffee
  • A teaspoon of chocolate shavings
  • Whipped cream
  • 25 ml of Irish whiskey

Here's how to make it:

  1. Pour Baileys Original Irish cream, hot coffee and whiskey into a glass.
  2. Using a jigger, measure 50 ml Baileys Original Irish cream and 110ml freshly made coffee into a short glass.
  3. Top with whipped cream.
  4. Garnish with chocolate shavings.
