Stir Up a Lucky Irish Breakfast Coffee for St. Paddy's Day

Known for creating crafty cocktails, Datz, Tampa Florida's comfort food destination, is celebrating the luck of the Irish with this Irish Breakfast special. They shared their recipe for this St. Patrick's Day libation with us. Erin go Bragh—and secure a designated driver.

With Guinness, Jameson, Baileys and Galliono, this cocktail doesn't get more Irish. It sure is boozy, though, so be warned if you actually drink it for breakfast. The garnish of Lucky Charms on top adds a festive look and a pleasant, sweet crunch. On St. Patrick's Day, it's acceptable to eat your cereal with beer and whiskey instead of milk, right?
