Iced Irish Coffee Recipe & Cold Brew Irish Coffee
|
Iced coffee fans who’d like to try something new can whip up these two iced coffee recipes including Iced Irish Coffee, both made with cold brew coffee and a hit of Slane’s Irish Whiskey. Thanks to Slane’s Irish Whiskey for the recipes. We really liked them as is, but we took the recipes one step further: by making them into floats with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (coffee ice cream works, too). Can you use coffee other than cold brew? Yes. Cold brewing produces coffee with much lower acidity, greater smoothness and sweetness, and little or no bitterness. It’s very fashionable now, and fans prefer the different flavor profile. However, feel free to use your favorite coffee, iced. Can you leave out the syrup/sugar? Yes. You can use the sweetener of your choice. > The recipe for Iced Irish Coffee is below. > The history of Irish Coffee. > Here’s how to make cold brew coffee, and the history of cold brewing. If you’re making a float, use a glass that will accommodate the scoop of ice cream. 1. ADD ice to a shaker; then add the whiskey, maple/honey/agave, and cold brew coffee, Shake or stir well to dissolve the syrup. 2. STRAIN into a glass over fresh ice. Most of us have only had hot Irish Coffee. Here’s a delightful alternative. It uses demerara sugar syrup instead of regular simple syrup. Why? Demerara syrup uses demerara sugar in place of regular granulated sugar. Demerara is a less processed, raw cane sugar that has a delicious caramel/toffee flavor. Those flavors in a simple syrup add deeper flavor notes to the drink. Here’s how to make simple syrup: It couldn’t be easier. If you’re making a float, use a glass that will accommodate the scoop of ice cream. 1. ADD all ingredients to a Collins glass over ice. Stir and serve with an orange twist. *Demarara sugar is simple syrup made with demarara (raw) sugar instead of white granulated sugar. It has much more flavor. |
