I was gigging last night Feg, and I came across a new drink for you being sold in Mallow. It's called Butterballs, it's a shot of Micky Finn's butterscotch, and a shot of Baileys mixed in together. You'd love it!

Another one for Ferg, and I kid you not, how to make your own baileys :

http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2009/12/h ... youll.html

Here is the homemade Baileys Irish Cream recipe for all of my friends, both on and offline. It's easy enough that you should have time to whip up a batch to take to your New Year's Eve parties! I found the recipe on a discussion forum on Chowhound. The entire discussion is worth a read. It contains lots of information about the drink. I am repriting it below with my notes.

* 1 C light cream (I used heavy whipping cream, which made it even richer)
* 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
* 1 2/3 C Irish whiskey (I used Jameson's)
* 1 t instant coffee
* 2 T Hershey's chocolate syrup (I used Torani)
* 1 t vanilla
* 1 t almond extract (I skipped this entirely)

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and set on high speed for 30 seconds.
2. Bottle in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate. Shake before using.
3. Will keep for up to 2 months.

Of course. It was nice, but not as nice as I thought it might be. Was expecting something very sweet, but it had a bit of a bitter kick to it.
