These are our favorite bottles as they are easy to seal.
We like having a few bottles of our homemade Irish Cream
on hand to send home with friends who drop by. Giving handmade heartfelt gifts is a great way to celebrate the holidays.
Enjoy your Irish cream liqueur on the rocks, add a splash to your coffee, pour it over ice cream, or use it for baked goods (cakes, muffins, donuts, cupcakes, brownies, pies, etc.)
