How to Make Irish Coffee

Katie Sweeney — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 04:54:21 PDT

After Guinness, the Irish coffee is quite possibly Ireland's most famous drink. This hot cocktail is a mixture of coffee, whiskey, sugar, and cream. It's famous thanks to the Buena Vista Cafe, a San Francisco establishment that perfected the recipe in 1952 and has since served countless Irish coffees - including the world's largest one ever. I headed to the cafe to learn its signature technique for making Irish coffee. Here, bartender Paul Nolan, who's been at the cafe for 32 years and estimates he's poured over 3-4 million Irish coffees, teaches us how it's done.

If getting drunk in a bar while stumbling around in crazy green clothing isn't your idea of fun, I have a great way for you to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Make your own Irish cream! More commonly known as Baileys, this rich, smooth, and delicious liquor can easily be made in the comforts of your kitchen. The recipe, which requires a blender, is similar to egg nog in that it combines a potent spirit (Irish whiskey) with eggs, cream, and seasonings like vanilla and coconut extracts. For a delightful after-dinner drink, serve chilled over ice. Homemade Baileys is also a festive gift - I've brought bottles to hostesses and always receive enthusiastic reviews. Get the simple, but fantastic recipe.

Your Two Cents: Did Your Career Come From Skill or Luck?

SavvySugar — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:00:59 PDT

While every worker hopes to find a shinning pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, our career realities are rarely that whimsical. We put in our time, work toward a major, try to find a job that matches our desires and skill set and keep punching the clock and persisting until it works (or doesn't). I have friends who spent years in graduate school or have been building careers slowly and have developed that perfect package that landed them a dream job, while others stumbled on their current profession out of sheer luck. Which rainbow do you fall under?
