Homemade Irish Cream from the Real Potato

I had never really thought of Irish Cream as something you could make at home (I thought it was something that only came in a bottle and was bought at the liquor store) until I came across this post on The Real Potato. Posted a couple of days ago, she offers a seemingly easy recipe for making your own Irish Cream (none of that pre-bottled stuff!). It does use raw eggs, so if that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can either get some pasteurized eggs or leave them out and add some extra cream. It would be a great thing to make tonight if you're going to have a mellow night at home with friends or family (or both)!
