Ben Nevis Highland Coffee
Inspired by the majestic Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, this luxurious coffee cocktail is a heartwarming blend of rich Scotch whisky and aromatic coffee liqueur, topped with a dollop of velvety whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder. It's a perfect after-dinner treat or a cozy companion on a chilly evening, bringing together the warmth of Scotland's classic spirit and the comfort of a steaming cup of coffee.
Ingredients
- Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon, for garnish
- Whipped cream
- 1 dollop
- Hot brewed coffee
- 1 cup
- Coffee liqueur
- 1 ounce
- Scotch whisky
- 1 ounce
Instructions
- Warm up a heatproof glass by rinsing it under hot water, then drying it quickly. This helps maintain the temperature of the cocktail.
- In the warmed glass, combine the Scotch whisky and coffee liqueur, stirring gently to mix.
- Pour the hot brewed coffee into the glass, stirring again to combine all the elements.
- Top the coffee mixture with a generous dollop of whipped cream. To achieve a neat layer, you can spoon the whipped cream over the back of a teaspoon held just above the surface of the coffee.
- Sprinkle the cocoa powder over the whipped cream for a beautiful finish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and complexity of this highland delight.
Tips
- For a creamier version, you can add a splash of cream or milk to the coffee mixture before adding the whipped cream.
- For a truly Scottish experience, use a single malt Scotch whisky from the Highland region.
