January, the dreariest of months here in Ireland, is made a little bit brighter with the perfect excuse to treat yourself: Saturday January 25th is officially Irish Coffee Day. It would be rude not to celebrate one of our nation’s finest creations, and our friends at Bushmills have shared their signature Irish coffee recipe so you can whip one up at home.
Ingredients:
- 35ml Bushmills Black Bush
- 10ml demerara syrup or 1tsp of brown sugar
- Black coffee americano
- Double cream float
Recipe:
Pre-heat a glass coffee mug using hot water then rinse. Make an Americano coffee and pour into the glass, leaving enough space for the cream. Add 35ml Bushmills Black Bush and demerara syrup or brown sugar. Muddle until well mixed, then gently float cream on top and enjoy.
