The Nutty Irishman blends Irish cream with hazelnut liqueur for a creamy, nut-forward dessert drink often served hot or cold. It is indulgent, smooth, and approachable with toasty nut aromas and soft sweetness. Served up or on ice, it behaves more like a dessert than a nightcap.


A Nutty Irishman served over ice with a nutmeg dusting.
