Notes

Substitutes:

  • Irish Cream Liqueur: If you don't have Irish Cream Liqueur, try using a coffee liqueur for a different flavor profile. I've also used almond liqueur for a nutty twist.
  • Soda Water: You can substitute soda water with club soda or simple sparkling water.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Irish Cream Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic Irish cream-flavored syrup; these are available and mimic the creamy taste without alcohol.
  • Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of the regular liqueur, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.

Making it Vegan:

  • Irish Cream Substitute: Opt for a vegan Irish cream alternative made from almond or coconut milk bases.
  • Whipped Cream Substitute: Use coconut whipped Cream or another plant-based whipped topping.
  • Proceed As Usual: Follow the original steps using these vegan substitutes to enjoy a plant-based version.
