It's officially iced coffee season, and over Memorial Day weekend, I was inspired to make a more "festive" version of my favorite summer pick me up!

We had some Bailey's lying around the studio after St. Paddy's Day and I thought it would be a good idea to use it to spice up my cold brew coffee recipe.. and boy, was I right!

Here's what you need:

-fresh cold brewed coffee (recipe here) -Bailey's Irish Creme liqueur -ice

Here's what to do:

1) Once you've made your cold brew coffee and let it sit in the fridge overnight, remove cold brew from fridge.  Add ice to each coffee glass. 2) Fill each glass almost full with cold brew coffee. On top of that, pour about 1 oz. of Bailey's, or more if you have room.

3) Use straw to mix Bailey's in, and add more if desired.

Since National Donut Day is coming up this week, I also added a little extra detail to this drink... a mini donut on the straw!

You can dunk the donut or eat it on its own. Either way, this coffee/ donut combo is an excellent way to start your morning off right this summer.
