The ultimate Irish coffee to get you through winter
How better to protect yourself from the cold than with a warm drink in your hand? Read: a warm drink with alcohol in it, of course, and a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. This Irish coffee, made with coffee beans aged in whisky barrels, is exactly what you need to stay warm this winter.
Irish coffee, of course, always contains a generous splash of whisky. Its smoky flavor gives the coffee an extra wintry touch. You immediately feel as though you’re sitting nice and warm in front of a roaring fireplace. To bring out that smoky flavor even more, we use the limited-edition Daterra Whisky Barrel Aged coffee from Peeze for this recipe.
Aged in whisky barrels
This limited edition was made especially for the Christmas season and has an extra festive touch. The coffee from Brazil was aged in whisky barrels that were used over the past few decades to age Glenfiddich Single Malt 12 Year Old whisky. Those aromas subtly return in the coffee’s flavor. It already tastes amazing when brewed as a regular cup of black coffee, but just imagine what it does in an Irish coffee.
Let’s get started!
Or rather, why just imagine it? Get started! We headed into the kitchen and have the ultimate recipe for you.
