Sip into St. Patrick's Day with Exit 11 Coffee's Lucky Cocktails!
Discover how to blend the charm of St. Patrick’s Day with our signature coffee in two delightful cocktails!
As the colorful blooms of spring begin to emerge, there's one celebration that paints the town in green—St. Patrick's Day! And what better way to honor the luck of the Irish than with a delightful fusion of coffee and spirits?
At Exit 11 Coffee, we're brewing up something special for this festive occasion with our new St. Patrick’s Day 2-ounce sample bags of coffee, available both online and at all of our drive-thru locations. Get ready to raise your glasses to St. Patty's Day with two mouthwatering themed cocktails!
The traditional Irish Coffee gets an extra kick of indulgence with a generous splash of Baileys Irish Cream. Here's how to brew up a cup of this classic with an Exit 11 Coffee twist:
Ingredients:
6 oz freshly brewed Exit 11 Coffee
1 ½ oz Baileys Irish Cream
1 oz Irish Whiskey
1 tbsp Brown Sugar
Whipped Cream (optional)
Instructions:
Follow brewing instructions on the back of our 2-ounce St. Patrick’s Day sample bags to produce six ounces of medium roast coffee.
In a heatproof glass, dissolve brown sugar in freshly brewed coffee.
Stir in Baileys Irish Cream and Irish Whiskey until well combined.
Top with whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
If you want it hot, serve right away and enjoy the creamy, rich flavors of this iconic St. Patrick's Day treat! If you want it iced, allow the coffee to cool after adding brown sugar but before adding the Baileys Irish Cream. Then add ice and enjoy this refreshing spring coffee!
For those who prefer their St. Patrick's Day cocktails shaken, not stirred, our Baileys Espresso Martini is the perfect choice. This sophisticated cocktail combines the bold flavors of espresso with the smooth creaminess of Baileys Irish Cream:
Ingredients:
1 oz (1 shot) freshly brewed Exit 11 Espresso (cooled)
½ oz Baileys Irish Cream
1 ½ oz Vodka
½ oz Simple Syrup
Ice
Instructions:
If you haven’t already, stop by one of our drive-thru locations for a bag of our Colombian coffee beans and ask your barista to grind them for espresso. If you have your own grinder at home, feel free to order them online as well!
Use your espresso machine at home to pull your own espresso shot and let that cool.
Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Then add Baileys Irish Cream, your cooled shot of Exit 11 espresso, and simple syrup* to the shaker.
Shake vigorously until the cocktail shaker feels chilled. Strain into a martini glass and savor the harmonious blend of coffee and Baileys, with a hint of vodka to keep things lively!
*Pro Tip: If you don’t have simple syrup on hand and don’t want to make it at home, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the fresh shot of espresso and swirl to dissolve. This will give you a richer flavor in the overall cocktail with a hint of sweetness.
Whether you're celebrating with friends at home or grabbing a pick-me-up on the go, Exit 11 Coffee has your St. Patrick's Day festivities covered. Our 2-ounce sample bags of coffee are the perfect way to infuse your celebrations with the rich, bold flavors you love. So why wait?
