Irish Coffee Glass

Glass Guide- Irish Coffee Glass

Warm, nutty and delicious; three words that describe Cafè Amore and French Connection Coffee perfectly. This warm cocktail is a beautiful mixture of Cognac, coffee and almond and is sure to be a hot one you will fall in love with. Typically the Cafè Amore uses equal parts (1 oz each) while the French Connection Coffee has 1 1/2 oz Cognac and 1/2 oz amaretto. Also, on the cooler side, skip the coffee and make a French Connection #1 or #2.

Ingredients:

  • 1 oz Cognac
  • 1 oz amaretto
  • black coffee
  • whipped cream
  • shaved almonds for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour the Cognac and amaretto into an Irish coffee glass.
  2. Fill with hot coffee.
  3. Top with whipped cream
  4. Garnish with shaved almonds.
