This Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Coffee Cocktail Recipe is soooo perfect for serving friends who want to celebrate the super fun Saint Patrick’s Day holiday at home! We all want to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in some way or other, don’t we? But considering how most people celebrate (hello, deliciously green beer and shots of whiskey), sometimes it’s really best to stay indoors in the safety of your own home!
Now, I am not exactly practicing what I preach here…I love going out on Saint Patrick’s Day and eating the delicious Irish food served in Irish Pubs…it really reminds me of my time in Ireland. You know what they say, everyone’s Irish on Saint Patrick’s Day! That’s what they say, isn’t it?
I loved the year I attended the Saint Patrick’s Day parade in NYC, even though I did miss most of the parade trying to get over to it – the streets were so crowded, and then it began raining! We had an amazing day, regardless, as my best friend at the time and I wound up meeting a crew of New York City firemen and of course they implored us to join them and spend the afternoon bar hopping with them around New York City! It was such a fun, fun Saint Patrick’s Day!
This Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Coffee Cocktail is just so decadent and tasty, it’s almost like an indoors version of those fancy frosty cocktails you sip on beaches in the Caribbean…and it totally reminds me of being in Ireland and sipping Irish coffees to my heart’s content. Though, this is the exact opposite, isn’t it? In Ireland, the weather was cold and dreary, so I sipped hot Irish Coffees to stay warm and not catch my death of cold.
Well, now I am back home in my lovely city of Miami, and with the temperatures already rising into mid 80s, this frosty Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Coffee Cocktail Recipe is just what I need to cool down while I celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day!
Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Coffee Cocktail Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 1 shot Irish cream
- 1 shot vodka
- 1 shot half & half
- 1 teaspoon sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 1 teaspoon water
- whipped cream
Optional for your martini glasses: light corn syrup and green and white sprinkles (we used the Wilton brand in this Saint Patrick’s Day Irish Cream Coffee Cocktail Recipe, which you can find on Amazon!)
Directions:
Dissolve your instant coffee into one tablespoon of water. Then add a small amount of corn syrup to the rim of the glasses and dip the rim into sprinkles that you have placed on a plate. Repeat this step until you have four, 4 ounce glasses rimmed with the sprinkles.
Next, you are going to bring out your blender and add the ice cream, the Irish Cream, the vodka, the half and half, the sweetened condensed milk and the dissolved coffee all together inside the blender. Blend all of these ingredients until you have a nice, smooth consistency.
Once it is completely blended, pour the mixture into prepared glasses and top with each glass with a dollop of whipped cream and a little bit of additional sprinkles. Remember, this is a frozen drink, so you need to make sure to serve them to your guests immediately!

If you are interested in reading about the life changing week I spent in Ireland in 2017, check these articles out! I spent one day in Dublin, then headed off to a Ring of Kerry small group tour with Rabbies Tours – and it was amazing! My favorite part of the tour was the two days I spent in Killarney. I found a pub and restaurant called The Laurels that was absolutely perfect just on Main street. They had a ton of local beers and cider on tap, they even had Jameson on tap! Oh, and the food? SO, SO GOOD! I ate dinner there each night and the bartender was so very nice to me. He even joked one night that I should order dessert because I could “afford to carry some weight.” How about that!
Ireland was one of the most magical places I’ve ever been in my travels…and I’ve been to 31 countries! I day dream about my time there and I simply can not wait to get back to Ireland!
