Irish Coffee Cocktail

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

feature pumpkin spice irish coffee

A pumpkin spice Irish coffee cocktail is a perfectly delicious way to warm yourself up, when the weather is cool.

My recipe includes homemade whipped cream and a homemade pumpkin spice blend, so it is extra delicious.

If you’d like to use store bought whipped cream and pumpkin spice, that’s ok, too.

This is a lovely drink to enjoy with your family while you are snuggled up by the fire for family movie night or game night.

Irish coffee is a classic that’s good for the holidays or anytime you are in the mood.

Adding pumpkin pie spice and homemade whipped cream sweetened with a touch of real maple syrup is a tasty twist on the classic.

Feel free to use whatever your favorite brand of Irish cream is.

Pretty sure I’ve never been disappointed with an Irish cream, even though I tend to buy whichever brand strikes me as having the prettiest bottle and label.

Also, feel free to experiment with different types of coffee.

I usually prefer a strong dark roast to complement the other bold flavors in this coffee cocktail.

Enjoy!
