Fancy an Irish Coffee? You don't need to work in a bar or a coffee shop to get in the game. Here's a simple coffee cocktail recipe put together by Jigger & Pony's Senior Bartender Uno Jang in our recent episode of Coffee On.
Irish Coffee Recipe
Ingredients 25ml whisky 20g caster sugar 15g coffee Hot water 60ml cream (>30% fat)
Equipment 1 mixing glass 1 jar or shaker Brew equipment 1 tablespoon
Instructions
Step 1: Brew your coffee Brew coffee using your preferred brewing method. If you are using the V60 pourover method, we recommend using 15g of coffee to 170g of hot water. Pour the hot filtered coffee into a mixing glass until it is about 3/4 full.
Step 2: Mix in whisky and sugar Add in the whisky and sugar and stir until it dissolves.
Step 3: Top it off with whipped cream Put the cream into a jar and shake until it thickens. Gently float the whipped cream using the back of the spoon, on your coffee mixture.
Serve and enjoy!
Pro Tips
Pre-heat your glass to keep the drink warm.
For a contemporary approach, use fruit-forward coffee. In this recipe, we used Nuts & Bolts.
If you prefer a stronger shot, you can pull a lungo shot (150g) with the Supernova.
Overstocked, and accumulated a stockpile of old coffee grounds at home? Here's a way to repurpose your old coffee grounds.
Coffee Kombucha Recipe
Ingredients Makes 1litre 900ml water 100ml Kombucha starter 100g coarse-ground coffee 80g raw cane sugar/honey/white sugar
Equipment Glass jar (at least 1000ml) Paper filter Kitchen towel or clean cloth Rubber band
Instructions
Step 1: Brew the coffee Steep coarse-ground coffee in 700 ml of water for 10 hours at room temperature. Strain with a paper filter to remove sediments and oils.
Step 2: Add Kombucha starter Dissolve 80 g raw cane sugar in 200 mL water. Combine and mix the sugar syrup, kombucha starter, and cold brew coffee in a large glass jar.
Step 3: Ferment for 5 to 7 days Cover with a clean kitchen towel and secure it with a rubber band. Leave it in room temperature. Label and monitor the fermentation process over 5 to 7 days. Reserve 100ml of your fermented coffee as a starter for your next batch of coffee konbucha!
Step 4: Bottle for 3 to 4 days Transfer to an air-tight bottle and top up with sugar (1g sugar of per 100ml of kombucha). Refrigerate when bubbles are observed at the surface. Once it's chilled, you can pour and enjoy your naturally fizzy and fruity coffee ‘soda’!
Pro Tips
Observe the fermentation process by smelling and tasting small portions along the way.
When using old or spent coffee grounds, double the amount of coffee needed in the recipe.
Look for lighter roast coffee to allow the fruity characteristics to shine through.
A cellulose gel or pellicle forms on the surface of kombucha. This is a natural, edible by-product.
