Nutty Irishman Coffee
A rich and indulgent coffee cocktail that blends the warmth of Irish whiskey, the creaminess of Baileys, and the nutty sweetness of Frangelico. Perfect for cozy evenings or as a delightful after-dinner treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup hot brewed coffee medium or dark roast
- 1 ½ ounces Irish whiskey
- 1 ounce Irish cream liqueur e.g., Baileys
- 1 ounce hazelnut liqueur e.g., Frangelico
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar optional, adjust for sweetness
Instructions
- Brew your coffee using a medium or dark roast. A Clever Coffee Dripper works well for a smooth taste.
- While the coffee brews, prepare a Muscovado sugar syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water, heating until dissolved.
- In a glass, mix 20ml of syrup with 20ml of Irish whiskey. Stir well.
- Pour 120ml of hot brewed coffee into the glass and mix gently.
- Shake 30-40g of heavy cream about 30 times for a thicker consistency.
- Slowly pour the cream over the coffee for a smooth and elegant finish.
Notes
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar or syrup. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cream alternative. Serve alongside desserts like chocolate cake or cheesecake for a perfect pairing.
