Irish Cream has always been a nostalgic drink for me, although I don’t drink it a ton. When I was a kid, my dad used to have Irish cream on airplanes – I thought it smelled amazing and definitely made him let me eat the ice cubes after he was finished on more than one occasion. 🙊 Now, while I don’t have it often, (I’m more of a bar goer than an at home drinker) it’s a wintery drink that I lean on more than, say, eggnog.
If you follow me on social, you know that I recently became lactose intolerant, so I’ve been challenging myself to create non-dairy versions of a lot of old favorites. So, when Torani sent over their new Chestnut Praline syrup- I knew what I wanted to make…something both boozy and dairy free. Traditional Irish Cream has a bit of cocoa in it- which I replaced with the Chestnut Praline, because the nutty and caramelly flavors are perfect for this time of year. You’d be surprised how similar it tastes to traditional Irish cream. I gave some to my parents for a blind taste test and they both said it tasted exactly like it!
Chestnut Praline Irish Cream (Dairy Free) Recipe
- 1.5 oz Irish Whiskey (I used Powers)
- 3 oz coconut creamer (I use Trader Joe’s)
- 4 oz coffee, cold
- .5-1 oz Torani Chestnut Praline Syrup, to taste
Mix all ingredients and pour over ice.
