8 Irish Cocktail Recipes Made With Irish Whiskey

Aly Prouty — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 18:23:08 +0000

Easy Irish Cream

This simple and delicious Irish Cream will win the approval of both iced coffee and hot coffee lovers. Its silky smooth texture goes down easy. Plus, the secret ingredient to this Taste Recipes favorite (chocolate syrup!) sweetens the drink to perfection.

(Looking for cocktails with something other than whiskey? Check out our other favorite Irish cocktail recipes.)

Classic Irish Mule

You can add some fresh-squeezed lime juice to a glass of ginger ale and Jameson to create an Irish Mule. It’s an understated choice, but definitely a classic. You can get Jess’ Irish whiskey recipe from her blog Flying on Jess Fuel.

Jameson Irish Redhead Cocktail

If you’re looking for a way to sweeten your Irish whiskey recipe, try creating a Jameson Irish Redhead, inspired by Mayre Audet-White’s recipe. The main ingredients, well, other than Jameson of course, are Sprite and grenadine. This cocktail might even remind you of an ice-cold Shirley Temple. But don’t worry—it’s still an adults-only drink.

(To serve up more than drinks on St. Patrick’s Day, check out these hearty St. Patrick’s Day recipes for snacks, sides and desserts.)

Irish Coffee

This Irish coffee recipe is easy to make and has plenty of coffee flavor. It’s a simple blend of whiskey and coffee, but can easily be dressed up with toppings like whipped cream, chocolate shavings or even nutmeg or cinnamon.

(One of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day shots is a mini Irish coffee shot!)

Jameson & Ginger Ale

Tricia of Saving Room for Dessert was inspired by a trip to Ireland when she put together this recipe. Enjoy whiskey like a true Irishman by mixing it with ginger ale. It’s simple, smooth and as authentically Irish as you can get.

Blarney Stone Cocktail

If you’re a fan of a ginger beer, we’re sure you’d like to sip on this drink for St. Patrick’s Day! This recipe from Honey and Birch is both refreshing and delicious. Just combine your go-to Irish whiskey with ginger beer and a splash of lime to create the Blarney Stone cocktail.

Jameson Old Fashioned

The Irish love some good, old-fashioned craic (which is slang for “fun” in the Emerald Isle), but regardless of heritage, most people love Old Fashioneds. Try a Jameson Old Fashioned from Cake ‘n Knife. The combination of ingredients and flavors produces a smooth, satisfying drink.

Irish Mule With Mint

There are lots of variations on the Moscow Mule, but the bloggers of Fox and Briar keep it minty fresh by adding, well, mint! If you’re hoping for a sophisticated vibe, or are looking to add a pop of green to your Irish holiday, try this recipe.

11 Marzipan Cake Recipes We Love

Aly Prouty — Mon, 17 Dec 2018 22:58:40 +0000

Upside Down Cake

This Rhubarb and Marzipan Upside Down Cake is one of the most aesthetically pleasing kitchen concoctions we have ever seen. Baker Michelle Lopez notes that you can change out what fruit to use and how much, so you can make the cake your own.

(Not sure about the difference between marzipan, fondant and almond paste? No worries! We can explain.)

Butter Cake

Vanilla Butter Cake may seem simple, but adding a marzipan buttercream makes it special (and tastier than any vanilla-flavored baked good). It’s sure to be a hit at any gathering, and you can easily decorate it for a special occasion. Molly Yeh is the mastermind behind this sweet treat and her blog provides extra photos and a video to watch as you embark on your baking adventure.

Chocolate Marzipan Cake

Crumbs and Nibbles is a baking blog that always seems to get recipes right, and this incredible Chocolate Marzipan Cake is no exception. Baker Alaina Chou even breaks down every step so it’s easy to make on your own.

P.S. You might also want to bake chocolate Yule Logs for Christmas!

Cherry Marzipan Streusel Cake

Feeling fruity? Kimberly Killebrew has the answer: Bake a Cherry Marzipan Streusel Cake. Your friends and family may not have had one like it ever before, but we’re sure they’ll be after your secret once you serve up this crumbly treat.

Marzipan Pound Cake

If you were assigned to bring a dessert to a holiday potluck, you’re in luck because Carolyn Jung has crafted an incredibly tasty Cocoa-Marzipan Pound Cake. You’ll love baking just as much as your community will love devouring! The almond topping gives it a little something extra.

Apple Marzipan Cake

Anita Chu highlights a seasonal favorite on her blog Dessert First. It’ll give off pie-vibes but with all the wonderful flavors and textures of an apple cake. You really do get the best of both worlds with this one.

Simple Marzipan Cake

Not sold on marzipan? Vicky Chin of Tiny Sweet Tooth understands. But before you knock it completely, try the cake that won her over. She admits it took her a couple of tries to get it right—but even her “failed” attempts were scrumptious.

Funfetti Marzipan Cake

If you’re looking for a beautiful cake, look no further than this rose-colored funfetti treat from Busy in Brooklyn. Simply seeing it makes your mouth water… don’t forget to take a photo before cutting a slice!

Torta di Marzapane

Laura De Vincentis is an amazing Italian blogger and lucky for you, we found the English translation of her standout Marzipan Cake recipe. It’s creamy, moist and you’ll only need 12 ingredients. The chocolate glaze over top is an amazing finishing touch!

Battenberg Cake

If the way to someone’s heart truly is through their stomach, then Neha of Whiskaffair must get a lot of love through her baking blog. This French Battenberg cake looks so pretty that we almost wouldn’t want to eat it. But once you cut into the multi-colored cake it’d be impossible to resist.

Feeling inspired? Make your own marzipan!
