Caramel Irish Coffee
Serra de Santa Bárbara · Ilha Terceira, Açores
A traditional Irish coffee joins hot black coffee and whiskey, crowned with cream. It’s a winter classic, with many variations. Our Azorean version is made with Licor de Natas Queen of the Islands, from Mulher de Capote, for a creamy touch and a caramel finish.
Cocktail suggestion
How to serve
A glass mug, piping hot coffee and a layer of cream floating on top. The secret is serving it in layers.
Pour the hot coffee, the Licor de Natas and the Aguardente Vínica Velha into a glass mug. Add sugar to taste and stir well.
Crown with the cream, letting it float gently over the coffee: use fresh liquid cream poured over the back of a spoon, or whipped cream.
For a special touch, dust with nutmeg or drizzle with a thread of caramel. Serve immediately, while still hot.
Tip: pre-warm the glass with hot water to keep the drink hot for longer, and use freshly brewed coffee for a more intense flavor.
