The Godiva Irish Coffee cocktail

recipeshare.blogspot.com

While my friends on the East coast are dealing with early snow, we here in LA are hit with yet another unseasonal heat wave. As the weather patterns transcend into one global contradiction, three daily necessities remain universally consistent: alcohol, chocolate and coffee. Combining these three ingredients result in immeasurable bliss; regardless of which coast you’re on or somewhere in between.

The Godiva Irish Coffee

¾ oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
1 ½ oz Godiva Chocolate Liqueur (white, milk or dark)
Coffee

Hot
Combine all ingredients into a flagon of your choice and top with whipped cream if desired or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.


Chilled
Pour all ingredients into a shaker tin packed with ice. It’s a good idea to let the coffee cool off first or else it will melt the ice and your cocktail will taste watered down. Shake and strain into a martini glass. For added texture and thickness add a scoop of vanilla ice cream before shaking. For those rough days, replace the coffee with a shot of espresso.
