Tim Finnegan's in west Phoenix finishes off the simple yet satisfying mixture of coffee and whiskey with heavy cream and brown sugar.
So a martini glass doesn't really scream St. Patty's Day, but why can't you look sophisticated while all those other crazy revelers stain their tongues with green beer at this popular Irish pub?
Avanti promises this is not a "liquid lobotomy," but it sounds dazzling nonetheless.
What else would do but a piping hot mug of Irish coffee?
Executive chef Lee Hillson's latest holiday concoction oozes decadence.
Have a sip of this creative cocktail and you are sipping on a little piece of Irish history.
