gold medal coffee

Oh friends! We have been buuuuusy this week. It is amazing that we even have time to get this post written and sent off. Soccer has been ruling our lives this week with games rearranged because of storms, games in the wind, driving back and forth! But it is Easter weekend and we have several items on The Blind Pig that would be perfect for your holiday breakfast or brunch.

Day Drinking We shared this drink with you last week. It is made with Carpano Bianco and grapefruit soda. It is low in alcohol content and would be a great addition to an Easter brunch.

Cucumber Gin Spritz This cocktail is also light and would be a refreshing addition to any morning gathering.

Gold Medal Coffee

Of course this would be perfect for the coffee drinkers in your entourage.

Mateo’s Bloody Mary This easy to make Bloody Mary compliments nicely with bacon and egg dishes.

Rosa Spritz Any spritz is a winner for brunch in our book.

Christmas Morning Bread Although we showed you this bread at Christmas, it would make a delicious choice for Easter, as well.

Kerrygold Cinnamon Rolls These rolls are a little time consuming, but well worth the effort.

Kerrygold French Toast Yummo! Enough said.

Wow Waffles We shared these delightful fluffy waffles with you a few posts back. Remember, you can also use this recipe for pancakes!

We wish you and your family the best this Easter. We have some other great posts to share with you in the next few weeks!

Have you been watching the Olympics? We love the Olympics. It is one of the few times that we can see so many different sports and events. If you could compete in any two events, which would you choose? Craig would choose hockey and downhill skiing. Rhonda would choose figure skating and the half-pipe. As we have watched the coverage night after night, we asked ourselves, “What would be a great beverage to drink while watching the Winter Games? And by the way, where is Bob Costas?” While we cannot answer both questions, we do have a great answer for the first. The Winter Games drink that takes first place for Pyeongchang is Gold Medal Coffee! The best part of this drink is that we have both a short program and a long program to offer.

The short program is a little twist on a traditional Irish Coffee. Telling you to drink an Irish coffee for the olympics didn’t really sit well with us, so we had to add a few degrees of difficulty. Craig just recently discovered coffee. (Where has he been? We don’t know.) He has started to make himself a vanilla latte before work each morning. To flatter the new coffee lover in our household, we created Gold Medal Coffee.

How do you make it? It is so easy. You need 2 ounces of Kerrygold Irish Cream. Remember we have used Kerrygold in a variety of recipes like, our french toast, and our Kerrygold ice cream? You need an ounce of Irish whiskey, and half of a cup of hot dark roast coffee. Pour the Irish cream and the whiskey into a coffee cup, top off with the coffee and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Once you take a sip of this delicious coffee, you will hear the Olympic theme song playing and feel as if you are on top of the podium. This is an excellent after-dinner drink to offer to guests as an alternative to a heavy dessert, and it makes an award-winning brunch beverage, as well.

Now for the long program. Prepare your coffee. Fill a tall glass with ice, and add 2 ounces of Kerrygold Irish Cream, 1 ounce of Irish whiskey, and 1/2 ounce of Frangelico liqueur. Top off with coffee. Add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish. You nailed the landing. Yes!!!

Maximum points earned for execution and artistic interpretation! You’ve earned the gold.

We hope you enjoy Gold Medal Coffee this week while watching our American athletes go for the gold! We would love to hear what you think. And if you find out where Bob is, can you let Rhonda know? She’s been worried that he has another eye infection!
