But not too many toastings,
lest you lose yourself and then,
forget the good St. Patrick,
and see all those snakes again.

Here's a special Irish Coffee recipe for two:

2 heatproof clear wineglasses or clear mugs
4 sugar cubes
3 oz. Grand Marnier
4 oz. Irish whiskey
Hot, fresh black coffee
Whipped cream

Divide the orange liqueur and the sugar among the wineglasses and warm in a microwave. (If you don't have a microwave, fill the glasses with hot water before proceeding, then drain the water and add the liqueur and sugar.) Light the liqueur -- this is best done in a dim, romantic setting where the flickering blue flames will have the most dramatic effect. While the flames are dancing, pour coffee to within about 1-0.5" of the top of the wine glasses; this will extinguish the fire. Divide the whiskey between the two servings and top with whipped cream. Savor with someone special.
