Irish cream isn’t always considered the most sophisticated spirit, but there’s no shame in the occasional after-dinner tipple of the sweet, creamy stuff, especially when you make it yourself. That’s right—fresh Irish cream is easily within your reach and endlessly adaptable, too.

INGREDIENTS

1½ cups Irish whiskey (such as Jameson)

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

2 teaspoons instant coffee

1½ cups heavy cream
