an Irish-coffee recipe for the holidays
« on: 20 Dec 2006, 02:09 pm »
I just tried this the other night and it was delicious...  used some 100% kona (please don't flame me for that it was a present and the only thing I had in the house at the time) in a presspot and jameson's wiskey,  whipped up the creme by hand.

just make sure to really preheat the cup so it doesn't cool too quickly after adding the whipped creme....

now if we could just get some snow and winter weather too...

enjoy everyone- happy holidays

Very cool, thanks for sharing.  I am not a big fan of spiked coffee, but the idea is really cool.  I am a simple man and like a little bit of baileys next to the fire during the holidays.  When we were in Whistler, the lodge on the southwest side made this raspberry cinnamon spiked tea that my wife and my mom who don't drink at all were raving about.  Even I who can't stand any sweet drinks thought it was fab. I'll have to see if I can find the recipe that the waiter snuck us.

I like Redbreast better than Jameson.   Redbreast isn't easy to find, though.

Irish Coffee is said by some to be the 'perfect' food because it contains all of the (4) major food groups..

caffiene
sugar
fat
alchohol

Merry Christmas everybody!

I'm pretty certain the Denver Audio Mafia would only be too happy to send you their snow.  :lol:  I've never used a coffee press before.  Other than making this drink, is it something you use often when preparing coffee?

Reportedly, it makes the best coffee.  However, I can't vouch for that, as I've never used one, either.

I like the taste from a press much more than from a machine...but i'm not much of a coffee drinker.  Plus my press cost about $20 and should last decades.

I have heard that the french presses allow more oil from the beans into your drinks, and this may not be a good thing for everyday users.   but i dig the fact that pressed coffee is really creamy without adding anything.

I always use my Cappucino/Espresso machine to make the coffee portion of an Irish. It comes out frothy and a wee bit stronger. I add a full scoop per cup, so it's a double shot. I've had pressed coffe before, but I'm the impatient sort and find the wait a bit of a pain, plus it tends to cool down a bit while waiting.

Enjoy,
Bob
