Equipment

  • Coffee Maker or Cold Brew Setup: For making the coffee.
  • Cocktail shaker: To mix everything together.
  • Measuring cups and spoons for accuracy
  • Glassware: I prefer using a tall glass or mason jar.
  • Stirring Spoon: To ensure a smooth blend.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to craft a delightful cocktail:

  • 1 cup Cold Brew Coffee: Strongly brewed.
  • 1 oz Irish Cream Liqueur: Adds creamy sweetness.
  • 1 oz Vodka: Provides a kick.
  • Cream or Milk: Optional for extra creaminess.
  • Ice Cubes: To chill the drink.
  • Sweetener: Such as simple syrup if desired.

I use high-quality ingredients to maximize flavor. Adjust sweetness based on your preference.

Instructions

Making this cocktail is a straightforward task. Just follow these steps:

  • Brew and Cool Coffee: Start by preparing your cold brew coffee and let it cool.
  • Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add cold brew coffee, Irish cream liqueur, vodka, and sweetener if using.
  • Shake Well: With ice in the shaker, close it up and shake hard for about 15 seconds.
  • Serve: Strain into a glass over fresh ice.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Top with a splash of cream or milk for added richness.

These steps are easy to follow and give you a delicious drink in no time.

    Notes

    Here are a few extra pointers I found useful:
    Adjust Flavors: Feel free to tweak the amount of liqueur and vodka to suit your taste preferences.
    Substitutes: If you like, substitute non-dairy milk for a lighter version.
    Extra Touch: Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans for a fancy finish.
    Trying different variations is half the fun, so get creative with your cocktail!
