Description

A warm, comforting, and sophisticated coffee drink perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion. Easy to make, but tastes like a million bucks.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (296 ml) strong black coffee
  • 2 oz (57 g) whiskey
  • 2 tsp (brown) sugar
  • 0.4-0.6 cups (100-150 ml) whipping cream
  • Cinnamon or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Lightly whip the cream to soft peaks.
  2. Rinse two cups with hot water.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon of whiskey to each cup and stir until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Pour in coffee and stir slowly.
  5. Let stand for a few minutes.
  6. Add lightly whipped cream on top of each cup.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use freshly brewed coffee.
  • If you don’t have brown sugar, granulated sugar works well, but brown sugar provides a more nuanced sweetness.
  • For best results, use heavy whipping cream with a high fat content (at least 36%).
