About the Cocktail
I have always been a multi-cup coffee drinker, so what better way to enjoy the end of few cocktails but to enjoy a nice, warming cup of joe with splash of our Haberdasher Light Whiskey. We decided to release our Light Whiskey for the sole intention of making Irish Coffee!
Ingredients
Hot water (for warming the glass)
4-5oz of hot brewed coffee
1-2 sugar cubes
1oz of Haberdasher Light Whiskey
1-oz of lightly whipped heavy cream
Preparation
Step 1
Pour warm water into your preffed glass. Let this sit for 2-3 minutes to warm up your glass. Traditionally, a Libbey glass mug (like this) is used by any glass cup will do.
Step 2
Once the glass is warm, pour out the hot water and pour 4-5 ounces of hot brewed coffee into the glass.
Step 3
Put 1-2 sugar cubes (dependent on your preference on sweetness) and stir the coffee until disolved.
Step 4
Pour in 1 ounce of Haberdasher Light Whiskey into the coffee and stir. The amount of whiskey used is totally up to you, between .5oz and 2oz is common.
Step 5
Take another cup or bowl and pour 1 ounce of cold heavy cream. I prefer to use a milk frother (like this) but you can use a hand-mixer, blender, or a hand-whisk. The goal here is to get the milk loose and frothy; not whipped cream!
Step 6
Take a large spoon, turn it over, and gently layer the frothed cream over top the coffee. This creates a delicious head of foam and helps cool the coffee when go to take a sip! Cheers!
