Jen's Creamy Sighs

OK, Twilight fans. As I'm sure you know, yesterday Jen and Elusive S from Twired (among other folks) went to the Twilight Convention in Los Angeles (those lucky h00rs!). Well, it just so happened that yesterday I came upon a drink that I have no doubt describes Twired Jen's experience succinctly due to Jackson and Rob's combined presence. And so I have imbibed on Sunday afternoon to give you this special edition Thirsty not-Thursday: Jen's Creamy Sighs.

Seriously - my reaction upon finding this recipe yesterday could only be heard by Jacob & Co. And then I laughed and laughed.

Yeah, that's right. It's Sunday, 2:30pm PST, and I've had a drink. It was a rough week last week and I deserved it. You don't think I just drink for Thursdays, do you? As always, I assembled my ingredients:
Edlet is now an important part of the process.

Before the coffee got cold, I needed to get to work.

1 shot Amaretto

1 shot Baileys

Fill with coffee (in an Irish Coffee mug or the closest available option)

Top with whipped cream and float Grand Marnier. I don't have whipped cream, and I don't have Grand Marnier. But I DO have orange liqueur. What's the real difference?

TH says to "float" something, you want to pour it slowly over the back of a spoon. This would be easier if there were whipped cream on top. And if I weren't trying to take a photo at the same time.

Ta-daa!!! Cheers, ladies!

OME, this is delicious. I stirred it to blend everything - the directions say to do so after you float the Grand Marnier on the whipped cream. I will say it would be better with whipped cream, but, truly, what isn't? Whipped cream, like bacon, makes everything better.

I taste mostly the coffee, orange, and almond flavors. It's delicious and warming and creamy and makes me sigh with happiness. It is definitely assisting me in relaxing today. Not too boozy, just a good, tasty coffee drink. YUM.

Thumbs up, and Edlet says: "WIN!"

Let's hope Twired Jen and Elusive S had as good of a time (or better) at the convention as I had having a drink early on a Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to read all about it!!

MWAH!

how appro for Jen!

I love my after dinner coffee drinks, esp with Bailey's!

thanks for explaining how to "float" That's interesting! Edward would have been an excellent bartender all Cocktail style because with his reflexes he would have never dropped a glass or bottle! That's a lot to live up to there Edlet! LOL
