Happy St. Patrick’s Day kids! Today is one of our favorite family holidays. Mike is German/Irish and his family is from Cleveland. I’m Scotch-Irish, English, and French. So we’re big fans of Guinness, Jameson, and Bailey’s.

This morning we packed up the boys and went up to our local pub for pints and lunch with some friends. It was a great time. And as always, the first one’s for Mike’s dad. Sláinte!
I was really excited to here this round of Spiked was Irish Cream. I mean come on… GYCO is beer this month and Spiked is Irish Cream?!? BRILLIANT! This is why Carrie and Julie are my friends. I didn’t have any Bailey’s in the house, so this month I went there. I made Homemade Irish Cream, and went from there. The Irish cream came out wonderful.
I’m kind of in love with this pudding. I didn’t go full Irish, but if you’d like to use Guinness Chocolate Pudding, you’d be the man, or woman – as the case may be. And GO!

Thanks for making my Homemade Irish Cream and linking up – I appreciate it! Glad it came out wonderfully and what FUN pics. Now THIS is the spirit of St Paddy’s Day. Love it!
I’m hiding the Irish Cream in the fridge so I don’t have to share it. Now I just need to run to Wedny’s for a frosty to mix it into. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
Omgosh, Julie! I am loving this idea! So, so clever. And homemade Irish Cream?? Bonus points! 🙂
Thank you for linking up for the Spiked! Irish Cream Recipe Challenge.
When making your own Irish Cream, can you use it right away or do you need to let the flavors “develop” like with some home made liqueurs? This certainly sounds good:) Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
Hi Lynn. I used the Irish cream immediately. I’m sure it would just get better if you waited, but I’m impatient like that. 🙂
Looks good – I’m checking out the Spiked entries… looks like you had a fun day too!
It’s official. You’re a genius! Oh my gosh I want some. You got this thing girl!
Wow…this looks delicious Julie! Yes, I am just getting around to look at all of the entries…long story 🙁 I am impressed with your homemade Irish Cream…and the kilt! 🙂 I’m English/Irish so it’s one of my favorite holidays as well!
