Frozen Irish Coffee

March 14, 2018 by Natalie 1 Comment

 Frozen Irish Coffee

I love St. Patrick’s Day because it strangely reminds me of my favorite city, New Orleans. Although
I’ve never spent St. Paddy’s there, my favorite Irish bar, The Erin Rose, serves my favorite incarnation of the Frozen Irish Coffee. I’ve shared quite a few recipes for it over the years, and I might not know the exact recipe (it’s a secret), but every time I play around I feel like I get one step closer. Let’s just say if you’re taking the approach of making a milkshake then you’re on the right track.

Frozen Irish Coffee

Frozen Irish Coffee, serves 1

1 1/2 oz. Irish whiskey (I used Jameson)

1 1/2 oz. Irish cream (I used Kerry Gold Irish Cream)

1 1/2 oz. cold brew coffee (I used Stumptown)

1 scoop of coffee ice cream

cinnamon whipped cream, grated cinnamon, and grated coffee, for garnish

My favorite spec for a Piña Colada is equal parts and I really feel like it works super well for this Frozen Irish Coffee as well. Add all your ingredients to a blender pitcher with 1/2 cup of ice and blend on high until smooth. If you want a less thick consistency you can add a bit more coffee or even milk to thin it out. I drink my coffee VERY strong and that is why I used cold brew in this recipe. Using cold brew also makes the coffee flavor stand out more in the drink. If you aren’t looking to be super caffeinated you can use regular coffee, just make sure it’s cold and not hot. Adding hot coffee to a blended drink will make it too diluted.

Pour your Frozen Irish Coffee into your desired serving vessel, in this case, I used highballs and garnish with cinnamon whipped cream, grated cinnamon, and grated coffee. To make your cinnamon whipped cream add 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on high speed with the whisk attachment until thick peaks form. Spoon over the top of your drink and finish with grated cinnamon and coffee.

This Frozen Irish Coffee is not just perfect for St. Patrick’s Day but absolutely perfect to enjoy all Summer long. St. Paddy’s Day is the finish line of Winter for me. We’re SO close to Spring, it’s staying light out longer, and I can feel the brisk air finally starting to subside. If we can hold out a little bit longer, I promise there are sunny skies and warm days up ahead. You can bet I’ll be drinking quite a few of these Frozen Irish Coffees until next Fall. Hell, maybe I’ll even catch a flight down to NOLA to enjoy one at The Erin Rose. Cheers, Happy St. Patrick’s Day, and Happy ALMOST Spring everyone!! xo

I have another frozen drink for you. I know I do them often, but I have to get them out while I can. Summer is almost over!!! Soon I will be posting about all things pumpkin, cranberry cordials, and lots of things stirred and boozy (or hot) to keep you warm all winter long. Of course with the occasional tiki drink thrown in to transport you to warmer days. If I have any readers (I’m not sure that I do honestly lol) that live in a more moderate climate with less of a season change, don’t worry, I will be jealous of your amazing produce and sunlight when its 12 degrees, dark, and sad here in NYC.

Labor Day weekend is upon us and I’ve whipped up this delicious boozy frozen coffee variation. I was inspired by the Frozen Irish Coffee that I have had many of at the Erin Rose in NOLA. If you’ve never been there it is a MUST if you’re traveling to New Orleans, I usually just take a cab from the airport directly there just for this drink. I mixed up the base spirit to Rum because I’m using Stumptown’s Coconut Cold Brew (so yum) and thought the flavors would compliment eachother more. If you can’t get your hands on this particular Stumptown cold brew, don’t fret. Use your cold brew of choice and then make some coconut cream (equal parts coconut cream and coconut milk) and then mix the cold brew and coconut cream mixture 2:1. This is like an irish coffee meets a milkshake because I also thought it was a good idea to add a scoop of gelato. When is gelato not a good idea, am I right?

So grab your blender and let’s celebrate the last the big weekend of the summer. This drink is so delicious and easy to make, make a pitcher and share it with your friends. Garnish as elaborate and decadent as you please! I went a little crazy for the photo, whipped cream, fudge, coconut shavings, a sprinkle of coffee. It was messy and when I was done taking photos I drank ALL OF IT!

Frozen Caribbean Coffee

1 1/2 oz. Jamaican Rum (I used Appleton Reserve)
1/2 oz. Coffee Liqueur
2 oz. Stumptown’s Coconut Cold Brew
Generous scoop of Gelato (I used Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip)
1 cup of ice

Add all your ingredients to your blender pitcher, blend on smoothie setting, serve in your preffered drinking vessel, and garnish with coconut shavings and ground coffee. Whipped cream and fudge optional but highly recommended!
