Sipping an Irish Cream by the fire is always a delight at the holidays.
I love to pour a little in my coffee, or over ice cream!
My Brother and sister-in-law make homemade Irish Cream every year at Christmastime.
I always make Homemade Kahlua, so I get the best of both worlds!
This year I made BOTH!
I did a housewarming basket full of fun things for my brother and his family in early December, and it had coffee, Kahlua and Irish Cream, homemade hot cocoa, with mugs and towels that all matched.
I found these cool black bottles to use, and just added a tag to the front of them.
I brought some as a hostess gift to my Aunt and Uncle’s, too.
This ones was easy!
A little printed cellophane under the lid of a quart sized jar, some tulle and a tag, and
Ta-Da!
I even make a non-alcoholic version for those who don’t want the alcohol, or so the kiddos can sip some of their own!

Irish cream is my absolute favorite alcohol because I can put it on coffee, hot chocolate or shots. I never thought of making it myself. This is awesome.
