You definitely want Irish whiskey for that! Otherwise, where's the Irish in it? :-) Hope Mike enjoys it!

But you're right about being careful - it's the vapor from the alcohol that ignites, and because it's a vapor, it's both volatile and larger than you might think. There can be a definite WHOOSH! when you first light it!Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-3383620459099399312013-03-12T20:28:14.771-05:002013-03-12T20:28:14.771-05:00151 is sure to kill any colds or viruses brewing a...151 is sure to kill any colds or viruses brewing as it burns all the way down.

And you're right that fresh whipped cream can't be beat. I do like it whipped to the medium peak stage, but it's also awfully good when the whipped cream barely has any shape at all.

In fact I thought about doing it last summer when I posted about the Zombie Cocktail. Maybe this summer - I'll be doing another Summer Sippin' Series!

She married my father-in-law when she was 21 and moved to Seattle. You can imagine that my husband has quite a bit of Irish in his heritage, and the happens to be one of his favorite drinks.

A real favorite here. I can certainly understand wanting to cut back on the amount of booze in this drink, but I wouldn't cut it by more than half (and that's pushing it) - you really do want to taste the whiskey, at least IMO.
