Ingredients
- Strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup
- Scotch whisky
- 1.5 ounces
- Granulated sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons (to taste)
- Whipped cream
- 1/4 cup (for topping)
- Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon (for dusting)
Instructions
- Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method, such as a French press or drip coffee maker. Aim for a coffee that is rich and robust to complement the whisky.
- Pour the hot, freshly brewed coffee into a pre-warmed mug to enhance the flavors and maintain the drink's warmth.
- Add the Scotch whisky to the hot coffee, followed by sugar to taste. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Top the coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating a rich and creamy layer that elevates the drink.
- Gently sprinkle cocoa powder over the whipped cream for an elegant finish and a hint of chocolate flavor that pairs wonderfully with the coffee and whisky.
- Serve immediately and savor the warm, comforting sensation of this delightful drink. Enjoy it as a perfect after-dinner indulgence.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider infusing your coffee with a hint of vanilla or a few dashes of cinnamon before adding the whisky.
- Experiment with different types of Scotch whisky; a smoky Islay whisky will impart a unique depth, while a smoother Speyside whisky will lend a softer touch.
- If you're feeling adventurous, try adding a splash of Irish cream liqueur for a twist on the classic recipe.
