Lazy Irish Coffee

I've often wondered how a Starbuck's Frappuccino would serve as the base for an Irish Coffee. Tonight, motive means and opportunity collided at a birthday party for my mother-in-law.

As it happened, my wife and I stopped on our way to Vallejo to grab a snack and some cake decorations. I also grabbed a couple of Frappuccinos for my wife and myself. I had the vanilla and she the mocha. I had also brought along a liter bottle of Bushmills Original that had a couple of tastes off the top fully intending to get it in some coffee and cream. When we got there I found the microwave and nuked up the remainder of my drink and added half again that much whiskey.
It worked! I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, better than I had thought. I'm not sure if it was the vanilla that made the difference as I've always been partial to a touch of vanilla in my Irish Coffee but this was really good. It got passed around for a couple of quick tastes and the concensus was there also.
Netxt came the mocha, which was also good but the chocolate didn't mix as well as I would have hoped.
So now I know it works, the next steps will be in perfecting it. Gotta get those ratios just right.
And that requires practice and experimentation. Oh the horror.
Though for now, it looks like:

1. 2 parts Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino heated to taste
2. 1 part your favorite Irish Whiskey (that you don't mind mixing)
3. Stir and serve hot

Enjoy!
As an aside, that liter is now a quarter-liter. I knew that if I brought the Busmills Black there would be nothing left by the end of the night. And the ladies also learned of the solvent qualities of alcohol as it ate through the paper cups. -- oops
