2 tsp demerara sugar

2 tsp hot water

3 oz cold brew coffeeFresh cream for topping

Instructions

1. Make the espresso syrup

In a small bowl, mix the ground espresso, demerara sugar, and hot water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and forms a fragrant espresso-infused syrup.

2. Build the drink

Pour the cold brew coffee into a glass or heatproof mug (depending on whether you prefer it chilled or warmed). Add the espresso syrup and stir to combine.

3. Add the whiskey

Pour in the Irish whiskey and gently mix.

4. Top with cream

Finish by floating fresh cream on top. You can lightly whip it or pour it over the back of a spoon for that smooth, layered look.
