Indulge In {Irish Cream}

We are slowing getting closer to one of my favorite holidays of the year. With St. Patrick's Day a short two days away, it's time to start thinking about your menu. While serving up corned beef and cabbage is a must and a little expected, guests will be wowed when you pour them a glass of your homemade Irish Cream. The best part about this delectable after dinner drink is how incredibly simple it is to make. Combine the ingredients and you are good to go. Of course I made mine with vanilla soy milk, but you can use real milk. If you do, however, be sure to add additional sugar for needed sweetness. Here's the recipe for pouring up all the yummy deliciousness...

:: Ingredients ::

1 C Vanilla Soy Milk

1 C Coconut Milk

1 C Irish Whisky (I used Jameson)

1 C Boiling Water

1/4 C Sugar

2 1/2 Tsp. Chocolate Syrup

2 1/2 Tsp. Instant Hazelnut Cappuccino 

:: Directions ::

1. Boil Water

2. Mix in sugar and cappuccino and stir until dissolved

3. Combine with all other ingredients in serving pitcher and chill in refrigerator until cold

4. Serve over ice with a drizzle of chocolate syrup

Destination Dream {Ireland}

Hi there! I bet you're wondering what this is all about. I've decided to add another post to the mix all about throwing a dream destination bash. Featuring places from across the globe, Destination Dream will give you tips on planning the perfect destination soiree and teach how to incorporate the culture into your big day and give guest an experience they will truly remember! 

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, we are focusing on Ireland today. This rustic celtic country is perfect if you value tradition, natural beauty, and a good time! Start the experience off by greeting guests with a welcome bag filled with maps of the area, local delicacies , and of course a Guinness and some Irish whisky. Continue the experience by planning lots of fun for guests such as castle tours and traditional dinners filled celtic dancing.  

Next step is the rehearsal dinner. Have some fun and host it in a local pub. Talk about an Irish good time! Host the ceremony amongst the lush green landscape and finish the festivities with a castle reception filled with traditional grub!
