I’m excited to introduce you to my first guest blogger at Our Crafty Cocktails. Please say hello to Anne!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anne loves exploring the never ending world of wine and cocktails.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

She has been dipping her toes deeper and deeper into wine studies and is now writing about everything alcohol at Aspiring Winos<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her favorite beverage is champagne, yes, the real kind, and she loves figure skating, even if it\u2019s harder now that she\u2019s not 20!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling a little blue, being cooped up in your house as current events change quickly and dramatically, you might be leaning towards a mid-afternoon cocktail.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

A bit of an at-home happy hour, easing what is rather a challenging time for a lot of people who are now working from home, their kids released from school, while enduring the drumbeat of hard news. <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, let this lovely Jameson Irish Whiskey in Milk ease your day. It\u2019s great for any time of year, but also a classic St. Patrick\u2019s day cocktail.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Whiskey is one of my favorite spirits. Though there\u2019s some variation among kinds of whiskeys\u2014the peaty smokiness of scotch, the smooth vanilla notes of bourbon\u2014a good whiskey is smooth and offers a complete experience, from taste buds to scent receptors.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can drink them alone or mix whiskeys with any number of things: lemon juice and maple syrup for a little whiskey sour, or make a classic combination with cola, hot coffee, you name it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Irish whiskey has a lot of flavor flexibility, and today we\u2019re going to mix it with milk and some yummy spices for a delicious little drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jameson features a blend of whiskeys which is then triple-distilled before being aged in oak for four years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Oak gives whiskey a particular vanillin note; it\u2019s got depth and heft, kind of like what you find in a good oak-aged chardonnay. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like most whiskeys, it\u2019s got a bit of a kick as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

History of Jameson Irish Whiskey<\/h2>\n

Though Jameson Irish Whiskey is owned by an enormous beverage conglomerate now (the Pernod company from France), its roots are deep in Irish soil. <\/span><\/p>\n

John Jameson founded his first distillery in the capital of Ireland, Dublin, in 1780. <\/span><\/p>\n

The family held the company for over a century, growing into one of the most powerful distilleries in the area. It\u2019s currently the third-largest distillery in the world.  <\/span><\/p>\n

You can visit one of the older distilleries in Jameson\u2019s history as a Dublin tourist\u2014it offers tastings, too! Jameson is an easy to find whiskey, routinely offered in most North American liquor stores. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each bottle contains the family\u2019s original motto, \u201cSine Metu.\u201d This Latin phrase translates to \u201cWithout Fear;\u201d the Jameson website says that\u2019s how they\u2019ve made whiskey so long and under some really hard circumstances (war! prohibition! more war!) but I suspect with enough of it, some imbibers have likely felt that motto a little strongly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imbibe with caution, folks. A little healthy fear goes a long way. <\/span>Our cocktail is also made with Bailey\u2019s Irish cream. Bailey\u2019s is one of the great desserts among liquors. Sweet, lush, it\u2019s just heaven. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s usually used as a part of a mix, a compliment to other liquors. Bailey\u2019s contains Irish whiskey and cream\u2014dairy cream, though they now make almond varietals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jameson<\/p>\n

It was born in the 1970s, a delectable, sweet concoction with a little vanilla, a little chocolate, and a lot of deliciousness, the first Irish cream ever produced. <\/span><\/p>\n

We keep a small bottle on hand at all times\u2014it\u2019s great in coffee, poured on ice cream, to make  <\/span> boozy Dalgona coffee<\/span><\/a>, or\u2014as you\u2019ll soon learn!\u2014blended with other things.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, if you\u2019re feeling the luck of the Irish or just hoping to channel some your way\u2014and who isn\u2019t?\u2014this is going to be just the drink for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019d make a great nightcap, or would be a good dessert drink at the end of a meal. Or, if you\u2019d like it, perfect on a Sunday afternoon while streaming your favorite shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Make a Jameson Irish Whiskey Milk Cocktail<\/b><\/h2>\n

So let\u2019s get to it. Here\u2019s what you need for four servings.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2 cups whole milk (you could use lighter milks, but the higher the fat content, the richer this will be)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup Jameson Irish Whiskey<\/span><\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup Bailey\u2019s Irish Cream<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2 Tbsp honey<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\/8 tsp ground ginger<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 1\/8 tsp ground cinnamon <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Most of this stuff you probably have already in your house, but if you need to run to the store, we\u2019ll wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Back already? Here we go.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Jameson<\/p>\n

    First, get a small saucepan. In it, pour the milk and the whiskeys. Put the pan on low heat. Add the honey, ginger and cinnamon. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Whisk continuously so nothing scorches until everything is nicely melded. You\u2019re looking, essentially, for the honey to melt and spread throughout. <\/span><\/p>\n

    This process shouldn\u2019t take but a few minutes. You want to fill four old fashioned glasses (those which are short and a bit wide, like a halved pint glass) with ice cubes. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Pour your warm blend over the ice and literally put a cherry on top if you\u2019ve got one\u2014a little maraschino would be just the thing.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

    Make A Larger Serving <\/span><\/h3>\n

    You could also scale this drink up or down; you\u2019d have to be careful watching the pan if you scaled to a single serving or two\u2014make sure you\u2019ve got a really small pan or, if you\u2019ve got a bigger one, expect it to warm in moments. <\/span><\/p>\n

    You don\u2019t want to accidentally boil the booze out of it, after all. Scaling up, it would make a nice drink for winter holiday parties or other gatherings. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Then you\u2019d just need a bigger pot and a lot more milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I bet this combination would also be quite lovely warm, without the ice, on a cold March day.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Each drink contains just over a shot of Jameson (a shot is 1.5 ounces and each would get 2 ounces here) and just over a shot of Bailey\u2019s, so it has a nice little punch to it that\u2019ll have you warmed up inside, ice cubes or not, in short order.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Taking a little time for yourself\u2014with a book, a cup of tea, or a little Jameson and milk\u2014can help you persevere for the long haul, particularly during stressful times. <\/span><\/p>\n

    With a little Irish luck hopefully those times will be few indeed. <\/span><\/p>\n
