Peppermint Irish cream recipe

This peppermint baileys recipe makes such a great homemade Irish cream. Serve over ice, drizzle in a hot cup of coffee as Irish coffee, or swirled into a glass of cold brew. Or give away as a homemade gift. This large batch Irish cream recipe makes enough to gift and to keep!

Easy whip up and package in decorative bottles, store in the fridge and have on hand whenever the need for a gift arises. But this year I decided to make it even more festive with rich chocolate and a hint of peppermint.

Ingredients

  • Heavy cream
  • Instant espresso – Starbucks Via are my favorite!
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Eggs
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Peppermint essential oil – a drop or two is all you need to add fresh minty flavor. Or, substitute peppermint extract.
  • Whiskey – whatever you have or the cheapest you can find. There’s really no sense in wasting a top-shelf spirit when you are going to be mixing it with all these other extremely delicious ingredients.
