The Dirty Irishman cocktail offers a perfect blend of coffee and creamy flavors, with a nice kick from the Irish whiskey.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Irish Whiskey
- 2 ounces Irish Cream
- 3 ounces Coffee chilled
- 1 ounce Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Chill Your Glass:
- Start by chilling a cocktail glass in the freezer to keep your drink cool and refreshing.
- Mix the Base:
- In a shaker, combine the Irish whiskey, Irish cream, and chilled coffee. This will form the alcoholic base of your cocktail.
- Shake it Up:
- Add ice to the shaker until it is about halfway full.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also dilutes it slightly, balancing the flavors.
- Prepare the Glass:
- Remove your cocktail glass from the freezer. If you like, you can swirl a little Irish cream around the inside of the glass for an extra touch of creaminess and visual appeal.
- Strain:
- Strain the mixture from the shaker into your chilled cocktail glass, leaving the ice behind in the shaker.
- Float the Cream:
- Carefully pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon onto the top of the drink. This technique helps the cream float on top rather than mixing in, creating a layered effect.
- Garnish (optional):
- For a classic touch, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few coffee beans on top of the cream.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, creamy, and invigorating flavors of your Dirty Irishman Cocktail.
