Creme Scotch Whisky!
This stuff is great during the holidays! Who doesn't enjoy a nice tumbler-full of this stuff over a couple of ice cubes after a big festive dinner? (And who likes paying a king's ransom for a bottle of one of the commercial Irish brands of creme whiskey?) A drop or two of this in coffee is also very nice.

Ingredients:

3 whole eggs
2 Tbls instant coffee
1 Tbls chocolate syrup
1½ tsp. coconut extract
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1½ cups blended Scotch Whisky (I prefer Dewar's)!

Preparation:

Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Chill and enjoy! (Be sure to refrigerate the mixture as the fresh ingredients will spoil, unlike bottled commercial brands which are loaded with preservatives!) Makes six 8-oz servings.

Notes:

For my fellow health freaks, egg substitutes (like Egg Beaters) and fat-free, sweetened condensed milk work great in this recipe! Also, if you want a totally, fat-free version of this, use a pint of fat-free, half-and-half instead of the heavy whipping cream - it tastes just as nice that way and isn't loaded with all the heart-clogging fats.

Tip:
I make loads of this stuff for the holidays and present it as gifts to relatives and friends in small, decorative bottles.



P.S. Don't you DARE use Irish Whiskey to make this--the ingredients are totally incompatible and will blow up in your face if you even have Irish Whiskey on your breath when you're making this! (If you want Irish Whiskey in it, then go spend a fortune on a bottle of Bailey's and stay out of the kitchen!)

King James VI of Scotia Minor
1566 - 1625

Having been the son of Mary Queen of Scots who was the cousin of Queen Elizabeth I, he was the closest heir of Elizabeth I and was crowned King James I of England after Elizabeth I died (Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded by the government of Elizabeth I for supposed treason). With his ascent to the English throne, it united the crowns of Scotland and England, making him the de-facto founder of the British "Empire." He sent the Pilgrim Fathers to America, and the King James Bible is named after him.
