Ingredients for Your Mini Irish Coffee Adventure
To craft these delectable miniature wonders, gather just five essential ingredients:
- Irish Whiskey: It wouldn’t be Irish Coffee without the unmistakable charm of Irish whiskey.
- Espresso: While instant coffee is a convenient choice, if you’re already brewing espresso at home, feel free to use it.
- Brown Sugar: The key to Irish Coffee’s signature sweetness.
- Whipped Cream: For a sumptuous finishing touch. You can opt for store-bought whipped cream for ease, or go the extra mile with homemade.
Brewing Your Irish Coffee Shots at Home
Follow these simple steps to create your very own Irish Coffee Shots:
- Prepare the Espresso Sugar Mixture: Begin by boiling four ounces of water and stirring in brown sugar and instant coffee. We use a reduced amount of water to intensify the coffee’s strength. If you have homemade espresso, you can use four ounces of it as an alternative.
- Half-Fill the Shot Glasses: Pour the espresso sugar mixture into each shot glass, filling them halfway.
- Complete with Irish Whiskey: Fill the remaining portion of each shot glass with Irish whiskey.
- The Whipped Cream Finish: Top off each shot with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
