Irish

Coffee

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½  ounces of Irish Whiskey (that’s 3 Tbsp)
• 1 – 2 tsp maple syrup, to taste
• 6 ounces hot, freshly brewed coffee (that’s ¾ cup of your favourite roast)
• whipping cream for topping

INSTRUCTIONS
Pour the whiskey and 1 teaspoon maple syrup into a heat-safe mug. Pour in a splash of the coffee and stir with a spoon until the maple syrup dissolves into the coffee.

Pour in the rest of the coffee. Taste, and stir in additional maple syrup if you would like a sweeter drink.

Top with whipped cream. If your whipped cream is lightly whipped (soft peaks), you may need to pour it slowly over a spoon so it floats on top. Serve while the drink is still warm!

Kir

Royale

INGREDIENTS

• 3tsp Crème de Cassis
• 4 ounces dry champagne
• Raspberries for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Add 2 to 3 teaspoons Crème de Cassis to each flute. Drop in 3 to 4 raspberries. Fill each flute with sparkling wine. Serve immediately. For the best results, chill the sparkling wine until very cold. Placing the flute glasses into the freezer a few minutes before making them isn’t a bad idea either.

Mulled

Wine

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bottle dry red wine
• 1 orange, sliced into rounds (peeled if you would like a less bitter drink)
• 8 whole cloves
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 star anise
• 2-4 Tbsp sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste
• 1/4 cup brandy
• optional garnishes: orange slices, extra cinnamon sticks, extra star anise

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan on medium-high heat until it just barely reaches a simmer (avoid letting it bubble – you don’t want to boil off the alcohol). Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the wine simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 hours. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the orange slices, and mulling spices. Add in more sweetener if needed. Serve in heatproof mugs and top with your favourite garnishes.
