Try experimenting with this decadent, boozy coffee using different spirits like bourbon, cognac, dark rum or amaretto. It's a great way to round off a dinner party, or just as an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
-
50ml Irish whiskey (or use a blended scotch)
-
2 tsp brown sugar
-
150-200ml freshly brewed black coffee
-
50-100ml double cream, chilled
-
nutmeg, a generous grating
Method
-
Fill a glass with hot water and rinse out.
-
Pour the whiskey into the glass along with the sugar and mix until the sugar has dissolved.
-
Add the coffee and stir.
-
Lightly whip the cream until slightly thickened, then very slowly pour the cream over the back of a teaspoon into the glass so that it floats on top of the coffee in a layer.
-
Grate a little nutmeg on top and serve.
