Whiskey and coffee are a union made in heaven, and the addition of sweetened whipped cream makes this the perfect winter treat
INGREDIENTS
- 70ml filter or cold brew coffee
- 20ml sugar syrup (boil up 1 part sugar with 1 part water and cool)
- 40ml Irish whiskey
- freshly whipped cream (or store-bought if pressed for time)
- nutmeg, to garnish
Method to Prepare
- Add the coffee and sugar syrup to a vacuum pack or sealable bag and sous vide it at 76C (*see below for instructions if you don’t have sous vide device).
- Add the whiskey to a heat-proof glass, such as an Irish coffee glass, and add the coffee mixture. Stir, then layer the whipped cream on top and sprinkle with nutmeg.
*Sous vide is a process for cooking vacuum-sealed ingredients to an exact temperature and is used in this recipe to ensure the coffee isn’t too hot to drink in the cocktail. If you don’t have access to sous vide you can of course just make your coffee as usual and wait for it to cool, or heat on the stove in a bain-marie (Google for instructions, it’s pretty easy).
