Boozy Bailey’s Mint Chocolate Chip Pancakes

My school celebrates with a day-long booze fest. My city turns the entire river green. But I like to start the celebration of all things Irish with a stack of boozy Bailey’s chocolate chip pancakes and homemade mint syrup.

Pounding back a pint o’ Guinness that early in the morning just isn’t quite as appealing as a pile of hotcakes. Now you can have your cakes and drink up, too.
