Creamy Irish Balls
It's Friday! It's been over a week (one day over) since I've last posted and I promise that I have been wanting to in this last week. I really did. My days have been filled up with family and helping them out. I absolutely LOVE the fact that I am a stay at home Mom, for the sole reason that when my kids are in school I can help out with family stuff in my free time. This is the very first year that I have had all 4 kids in school, so it's a nice change.
I was looking online for some Irish inspired cocktails for St. Patrick's Day. I found a couple and decided to put my own twist on them. Today's cocktail I call Creamy Irish Balls. I had a few names for this cocktail come to mind, but this one I thought was the best!
This cocktail is creamy from the Irish Cream and then has a nice cinnamon kick at the end. Fireball whisky seems to do that when mixed with other ingredients. It always seems to give a good cinnamon-ey kick to finish off each sip. Now you have another option when trying to decide what to drink for St. Patrick's Day! My goal is to give you a couple more choices between now and then.
Here's my recipe for Creamy Irish Balls:
- 1 1/2 ounces Irish Cream Liqueur
- 1 1/2 ounces Fireball Whisky
In a shaker, add ice and both ingredients above. Shake and strain into a glass and enjoy!

Here's to family. I don't know what I would do without mine!
Cheers!
