What is in this Coffee Cocktail?
This recipe is a twist on a classic irish coffee so first let’s look at what that normally contains.
Authentic Irish coffee has a rich, complex flavor that is not as simple to make or enjoy than it seems.
While many people think of coffee spiked with whiskey when they think of an Irish coffee, in fact the drink is not quite as easy to make.
Brown sugar and heavy cream are also used to make an Irish Coffee and we use the heavy cream in this whiskey maple coffee cocktail similarly.
In this variation of an Irish Coffee, the brown sugar is substituted for maple syrup.
To make this cocktail you will need:
- Freshly brewed coffee
- Irish Whiskey
- Maple Syrup
- Vanilla Extract
- Heavy cream
What tools do I need to make the Whiskey Coffee Cocktail?
You really don’t need much in order to make this cocktail which makes it perfect for any party or large gathering when you want to whip them up in minutes.
I did use a cocktail jigger to measure out the ingredients but you could also use a shot glass.
The most important thing you need is some good quality freshly brewed coffee.
Any type will do, for my cocktail, I used a harvest blend which added some nice pumpkin spice flavor to my coffee.
