It’s time to get into the Irish Spirit. We love St. Patrick’s Day or really any excuse to celebrate with a new coffee recipe. We know we’re cheating a little bit with this recipe. But we think once you try our Baileys Affogato you’ll let this one slide. Affogatos are traditionally Italian, but we’ve added Baileys for a bit of a twist on a classic. I mean its ice-cream, Baileys and espresso shots… need we say more?
What is St Patrick’s Day?
St. Patrick’s Day is the celebration of the life of the late Patron Saint Patrick of Ireland. Many celebrate the 17th of March to commemorate their Irish heritage.
The day has evolved quite a bit since 1631 when it was first created. With many celebrating by wearing comical hats, enjoying soda bread or in our case getting creative with the traditional Irish Baileys.
