Iced Whiskey Coffees with Whiskey Syrup and Whipped Cream
Description
Iced Whiskey Coffees with Whiskey Syrup and Whipped Cream is a cooling coffee cocktail combining cold-brewed coffee with a rich, homemade syrup made from brown sugar, whiskey, and vanilla extract. The drink is stirred together with a measured amount of whiskey and cream, resulting in a balanced beverage with sweet, boozy, and creamy elements. Topping the drink with coconut whipped cream adds a subtle hint of coconut flavor and airy texture, while a dusting of cinnamon provides a touch of warmth and spice.
The whiskey syrup is prepared by dissolving sugar in whiskey and water over gentle heat, then cooling it before use. The coconut whipped cream is made from the firm part of chilled full-fat coconut milk, whipped with powdered sugar until thick and fluffy. This method produces a dairy-free whipped topping that complements the drink. The assembled iced coffee is served over crushed ice for a refreshing finish. The proportions can be adjusted to personal taste.
Ingredients
- ice crushed
- 8 ounces coffee cold-brewed
- 2 tablespoons whiskey syrup
- 1 tablespoon whiskey
- 3 tablespoons cream
- Coconut whipped cream for topping
- cinnamon for sprinkling
whiskey syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whiskey
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
coconut whipped cream
- 1 coconut milk full-fat, cold, 14-ounce can
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Fill the glass with ice. Pour in the coffee, syrup and whiskey, stirring well to mix. Stir in the cream, top with the whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon. This is my favorite proportion for the coffee, but you can easily change it up!
whiskey syrup
- Combine the sugar, whiskey and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool completely. Stir in the vanilla extract and use!
coconut whipped cream
- Take the can of coconut milk out of the fridge. Open the cans and discard the liquid (save it for a smoothie!), then scoop the firm coconut meat into the bowl of your electric mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until completely whipped and thick. Beat in the sugar. Set the bowl in the fridge until ready to use.
