Christmas Cocktail Series: Irish Coffee

I found this recipe in my mom’s recipe binder and adapted it to be vegan. It’s a clipping from the March 1996 Family Circle magazine, entitled “Irish Elixir.”

Ingredients:

• Irish Whiskey (I used Jameson’s)

• Freshly-brewed coffee

• Brown sugar

• Plant-based creamer (I used Ripple brand half-and-half)

Instructions:

1. Heat glass with boiling water (place spoon inside) for a few minutes, then pour out water

2. Add one shot (1 oz) of Irish Whiskey and 2 tsp brown sugar, and stir

3. Add boiling coffee and continue to stir until all sugar has melted

4. With the spoon resting lightly on the surface of the coffee, gently pour in the plant-based creamer (this method assures that nice slight separation of coffee and cream)

5. Enjoy!
