Just a Splash of Irish

It's that time of year again where the boiled dinner smell wafts throughout the kitchens and everyone digs deep to prove they are at least 1/99th Irish so they have an excuse to drink. I don't make excuses, I just mix. And since this is the month of green, I got into my liquor cabinet to play.

Let me introduce you to my Peppermint Oreo Cookie Cocktail:

Into a shaker pour over ice:
2 parts mint Bailey's
1 part vodka of choice
1 part milk or cream
Shake vigorously.  Pour into a martini glass.
Makes 1

Variation on this drink:
2 parts chocolate liquor
1 part peppermint schnapps
1.5 parts cream
Shake vigorously.  Pour into a martini glass.
Makes 2

Garnish both drinks with a peppermint Oreo cookie.

- Now you ask me, what's a "part?" And, that, is up to you. How big is your shaker?
