Why It Works
- Swapping out the booze in a standard Irish espresso opens up a world of taste combos.
That is a part of a sequence on Irish espresso variations, together with this adventurous model with fernet, and a traditional chocolate-hazelnut combo. Sizzling espresso, completely different liqueurs, and flavored whipped cream can yield shocking outcomes and add some intrigue to your after-dinner drinks.
Spiced rum slips right into a sizzling cup of espresso like a Jamaican bobsled crew sliding down an icy monitor…which is to say, extra easily than Irish whiskey. Its spiced taste and sugarcane sweetness play off the espresso’s roasted, bitter chew. On prime, a heaping dollop of butterscotch whipped cream, which riffs somewhat bit on the rum, caramel, and dairy flavors of a traditional rum raisin ice cream. To complete, somewhat recent nutmeg grated on prime performs up these spice notes.
My solely problem was making the butterscotch whipped cream. Thank god I work with Stella Parks, as a result of she had a solution prepared and ready: Simply whip some malted milk powder (corresponding to Carnation, out there all over the place) and darkish brown sugar into the cream to simulate butterscotch’s slow-cooked, candy dairy taste (a trick Stella makes use of in her fast butterscotch pudding recipe). It really works like a appeal, and it could not be simpler. That whipped cream alone is so good, you may need to put it on every thing.
