THE FROZEN IRISH COFFEE
The warming Irish Coffee gets a frosty make-over in this Frozen Irish Coffee! The Frozen Irish Coffee is inspired by the Erin Rose bar in New Orleans. The Erin Rose is a must stop (multiple times, often at 3 am, ha!) Tales of the Cocktail or any visit to NOLA. You can just past go and avoid Bourbon Street all together and head right to the Erin Rose. It’s a great buzz to kick-off to a night out or to rap up a sticky, hot NOLA evening on the town to cool off….or for a morning pick-me-up, hey it’s NOLA! Tucked away right off Bourbon Street, lies this magical bar. The neon signs lining the bar here at none of the tres chic kitchy signs you’ll find at just about ever new hip restaurant in the past few years. You will stick to the floor, be elbow-to-elbow with unbearably sweaty person next to you, it’s cash only, and you drink the Frozen Irish Coffee out of plastic cups. And it’s what makes the place magic. During Tales, you will inevitably find a friend or fellow bartender there at any hour of the day. It’s the only constant at Tales and maybe the best drink in the city. You can bring a little bit of NOLA home with this Frozen Irish Coffee.
FREEZE YOUR COFFEE
This recipe is super easy, brewing and freezing the coffee is the hardest part! Freezing the coffee allows you to having to add ice to get the right consistency. If you want to drink this quicker and not freeze coffee, add chilled coffee with a few ice cubes in the blender. It’s all blended up for a chilly, creamy treat that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any day. Feel free ditch the glass and pour the Frozen Irish Coffee into a plastic cup for the full effect!

Holy shit. This is exActly like the real thing from Erin Rose. I used Coffee Liquor AND coffee brandy (got lucky at the liquor store), and made a full tray of cubes out of 2 strong americano’s. Used 4 cubes per drink and its a Wendy’s frosty consistency. I cant believe how good this is. Thank you so much!!!!
Yeees! I LOVE to hear it! I don’t know about you, but I am always craving an Erin Rose Irish Coffee come summer. The coffee brandy sounds amazing and a great addition what a score, what brand is it?
