Ingredients:

  • 30ml (1 oz) Irish Cream Liqueur
  • 30ml (1 oz) Hazelnut Liqueur
  • 45ml (1.5 oz) Triple-Distilled Irish Whiskey
  • 150ml (5 oz) freshly brewed hot coffee
  • 60ml (2 oz) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 1g grated nutmeg or cinnamon
  • 4g toasted hazelnuts, crushed

Instructions:

  1. Fill a heat-resistant glass mug with boiling water and let it sit for 60 seconds to thermally prime the glassware; discard the water before proceeding.
  2. Pour the Irish cream, hazelnut liqueur, and Irish whiskey into the warmed glass, stirring gently with a bar spoon until the spirits are uniform.
  3. Slowly pour the hot coffee over the spirit base, leaving approximately half an inch of headspace at the top of the glass.
  4. Using the back of a spoon held just above the coffee's surface, slowly pour the lightly whipped heavy cream to create a floating snowy layer.
  5. Garnish with a pinch of grated nutmeg or cinnamon and the crushed toasted hazelnuts.
