Friday has rolled around again,which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! The weather has changed and now we are ready for those beverages that keep you warm. I am thrilled it is finally no longer hotter than Satan’s toenail out there. As a woman going through menopause the summer was rough!
This week has been mostly about work for me. Marianne Wolfe, one of the authors I work with, has a new release and I have just been getting things done there. On top of my regular work here. One thing I am doing a little more is making sure I get outside and away from the computer. We did have three trees fall in the front yard this week though. It took some time and a lot of work but we got them cut down and moved.
This Week’s Cocktail
Are you ready for an Irish Coffee? When I drank coffee this was one of my favorite drinks. It was created in the winter of 1943 by Joe Sheridan, chef at Foynes Port near Limerick, Ireland. Now my drink isn’t the original as I like mine a little modernized.
Ingredients
- 16 oz. hot water
- 2 tsp. light brown sugar
- 1 c. brewed coffee
- 2 oz. Irish whiskey (such as Jameson)
- 1/2 c. heavy cream for topping
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Directions
- Fill 2 mugs with hot water and let sit 2 minutes. Pour out water and add 1 teaspoon light brown sugar to each mug. Pour over hot coffee and stir to dissolve sugar, then pour in whiskey.
- In a separate bowl with an electric mixer or by hand, whisk cream until soft peaks form. Cream should be thick but still pourable. Top coffee with cream by gently pouring over the back of a warm spoon to form a thick layer on top of coffee. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

My week was good. The weather has been warm and sunny.
Things have been stressful at home. My youngest has been suffering from anxiety and my husband is overwhelmed at work. Praying things get better soon.
I did a lot of house cleaning / throwing things out and putting up lights outside on the railing, kind of a fall prep I guess. Work was super busy and I’m so glad it’s FRIDAY!
Backache all week. Terrible pain.
I had a pretty good week. It was busy but I feel like I got a lot done.
Not much happening here still fighting this cold.
I stuck pretty close to home this week just been keeping an eye on the news. Hope you have a nice weekend.
I had a good week and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
It was a long (and often hot) week, so I hope the weekend is restful…
I went to my first NHL hockey game this week – I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it@!
I’m just getting over being sick. I’m ready to get out there and get things done!
okay
It wasn’t the best week. My truck was messing up and I had to get it fixed.
I had a wonderful week! The weather is simply perfect and I went to the dog park a lot with my dog.
I had an okay week.
It was good
We had a busy week. My youngest daughter participated in a little miss pageant. It was so fun for her. She won the talent award!
Visited a friend for 2 days which was a nice break from a lot of financial stress
