Get Festive & Cozy: A Twisted Irish Coffee for the Holidays
When the holiday season rolls around, sometimes you just need a little pick-me-up that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Enter our Twisted Irish Coffee — a comforting, seasonally spiced sipper that brings together the best of both worlds: creamy indulgence and a subtle herbal flourish. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or wrapping up last-minute gifts, this easy-to-make drink is guaranteed to add a warm glow to your day, no matter the weather.
Why We Love It:
Picture a classic Irish coffee: a smooth pour of hot, freshly brewed java sweetened with brown sugar, lightly spiked with Irish whiskey, and topped with a generous cloud of whipped cream. Now imagine giving it a Bushwick twist with our Baked in Bushwick tincture. The result? A crowd-pleaser that’ll have everyone feeling a bit more cheerful, relaxed, and totally in the holiday spirit. Plus, if you’re opting for a booze-free version, you can simply omit the whiskey and still enjoy that sweet, creamy goodness.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup hot brewed coffee
- 1 oz Irish whiskey (feel free to skip it for a mocktail)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 dropper full of Baked in Bushwick tincture
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Grated nutmeg or cinnamon, for garnish
How to Make It:
- Mix It Up: Start by pouring your hot coffee into a heatproof mug. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. If you’re feeling spirited (pun intended), now’s the time to add that Irish whiskey.
- Add the Twist: Drop in a full dropper of our Baked in Bushwick tincture. Give it a gentle stir — this is where the mellow, herbal notes come alive.
- Top It Off: Finish with a cloud of whipped cream. For the finishing touch, grate a bit of nutmeg or dust some cinnamon over the top. Inhale that warm, spiced aroma and let the seasonal vibes wash over you.
Pro Tips:
- Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer less sweetness, cut back on the brown sugar. Want a richer depth of flavor? Consider adding a touch of dark brown sugar or even a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Extra Cozy Accents: Place a cinnamon stick in the mug for stirring, or serve with a small gingerbread cookie on the side to really set the scene.
- No Alcohol, No Problem: The beauty of this recipe is in its flexibility. Skip the whiskey for a delicious, family-friendly mocktail that still delivers on taste and holiday charm.
So go ahead — brew a pot of coffee, treat yourself to this creamy, comforting creation, and take a moment to savor the season. The holidays are all about sharing joy, and what better way to keep spirits high than with a Twisted Irish Coffee in hand?
Stay baked, friends, and keep it cozy!
