The Green Apron

We all have our favorite drinks. Even if not alcoholic there’s something for everybody. For me it’s an Irish Car Bomb. Similar to a boilermaker, but made with all Irish ingredients. Most typically used are Jameson, Bailey’s and Guinness. You have to make fast work of this beer cocktail due to curdling. I think that’s the reason I like it. Not the curdling part, but the quickness of the drink. You see I’m the type of person that can nurse a drink for hours. No joke. So when I’m drinking with friends I now have a way to keep in the game. Because it’s not really fun to be the only sober person in a group three sheets to the wind.

About a year ago a friend shared this recipe with me. Homemade Irish Cream! This recipe makes a little over 5 cups. My only problem is the raw egg component. The recipe makes over 5 cups and I worry about spoilage before I can get through everything. I’m going to try and use a powdered egg for substitute. I know it sounds odd, but pasteurization has its rewards. The product reviews were positive as well. Sounds like the maker, Honeyville Farms, has everything in powdered form, strawberries to cheese. Interesting and creepy… Anyhow, here’s the original recipe with the real eggs kept in play.
