Jameson Cold Brew Irish Coffee
There’s something magical about blending the rich, smooth notes of coffee with the warm kick of Irish whiskey—especially when the whiskey is Jameson Cold Brew. This cozy cocktail has become my go-to for chilly evenings and holiday gatherings, and I’m excited to share my favorite way to make it at home. It’s a simple yet impressive drink that always feels like a treat.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup of freshly brewed strong coffee (I always use a dark roast for that bold flavor)
– 1.5 oz Jameson Cold Brew Irish Whiskey (the cold brew infusion adds a lovely coffee essence)
– 1 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust if you like it sweeter, but this is my sweet spot)
– 2 tbsp heavy cream, chilled (I keep mine in the fridge until the last minute for the best texture)
– Whipped cream for topping (optional, but I can’t resist a fluffy dollop)
Instructions
1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method, and pour it into a heatproof glass or mug while it’s still hot—around 200°F is ideal to dissolve the sugar easily.
2. Add 1 tbsp of granulated sugar to the hot coffee, and stir vigorously for about 30 seconds until it’s fully dissolved; this prevents any gritty texture in your drink.
3. Pour in 1.5 oz of Jameson Cold Brew Irish Whiskey, and give it a gentle stir to combine everything evenly without losing too much heat.
4. In a small bowl, lightly whip 2 tbsp of chilled heavy cream with a fork or whisk until it thickens slightly but is still pourable—this takes about 1 minute and creates a smooth layer.
5. Slowly pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon held just above the coffee surface to float it on top, which helps it sit nicely without mixing in too quickly.
6. If using, top with a spoonful of whipped cream for an extra indulgent finish, and serve immediately while warm.
Keep this drink simple and enjoy it as is—the creamy top slowly melds with the spiked coffee underneath, offering a delightful contrast of textures. I love how the whiskey’s subtle coffee notes complement the brew, making it perfect for sipping by the fire or as a festive after-dinner treat. For a fun twist, try rimming the glass with chocolate syrup or adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top.
Iced Jameson Cold Brew Latte
Zipping through the holiday rush, I found myself craving something that could both perk me up and wind me down—enter this boozy coffee creation that’s become my go-to for festive evenings. Honestly, it’s the perfect blend of cozy and cool, and I love how it turns a simple coffee break into a little celebration.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup of cold brew coffee (I make mine extra strong because it holds up better with the whiskey—trust me on this)
– 2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey (a smooth pour that never fails to add warmth)
– 1/2 cup of whole milk (I prefer whole for its creamy richness, but any milk works)
– 2 tbsp of simple syrup (homemade is best; I just simmer equal parts sugar and water until clear)
– Ice cubes (plenty to keep it chilled without diluting too fast)
– Whipped cream for topping (optional, but I always add a dollop for that indulgent touch)
Instructions
1. Fill a tall glass to the brim with ice cubes to ensure your drink stays frosty from the first sip.
2. Pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee over the ice, using a slow stream to prevent splashing—this helps maintain that bold coffee flavor.
3. Add 2 oz of Jameson Irish Whiskey directly into the glass, giving it a gentle swirl to start blending the layers.
4. In a separate small pitcher or measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of whole milk and 2 tbsp of simple syrup, stirring vigorously until fully incorporated for a smooth sweetness.
5. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the coffee and whiskey, aiming for an even pour to create a beautiful layered effect without mixing too much.
6. If using, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream, spreading it lightly with a spoon for a creamy finish.
7. Serve immediately with a straw for sipping, and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa or cinnamon for extra flair.
After the final step, wrap up with 2–3 natural sentences about the texture, flavor, or a creative way to serve it—no generic conclusions. The first word of your introduction must begin with the letter ‘A’. As you take that first sip, you’ll notice how the velvety milk melds with the robust coffee and smooth whiskey, creating a drink that’s both invigorating and soothing. For a fun twist, try serving it in a mason jar with a cinnamon stick stirrer—it adds a rustic charm that makes every sip feel like a special treat.
Jameson Cold Brew Martini
Whew, after a long holiday season of baking and hosting, I’ve been craving something sophisticated yet effortless to unwind with—enter this Jameson Cold Brew Martini. It’s my go-to when I want to feel fancy without fuss, blending the cozy warmth of whiskey with the bold kick of cold brew for a drink that’s as smooth as it is invigorating. Trust me, it’s the perfect nightcap after a chaotic day of gift-wrapping or just because you deserve a little treat.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey (I always keep a bottle on hand for impromptu gatherings—it’s so versatile!)
– 2 oz cold brew coffee concentrate (I make mine extra strong because I love that deep coffee flavor shining through)
– 1 oz coffee liqueur (my pantry staple for adding a touch of sweetness without being cloying)
– 1 oz simple syrup (homemade is best—just equal parts sugar and water simmered until clear)
– Ice cubes (plenty of them for that perfect chill)
– Coffee beans for garnish (a few whole beans add a nice aromatic touch)
Instructions
1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes to ensure everything gets properly chilled.
2. Pour 4 oz of Jameson Irish Whiskey into the shaker—I like to measure directly from the bottle for ease.
3. Add 2 oz of cold brew coffee concentrate; tip: use a concentrate for a richer coffee flavor that won’t get diluted.
4. Measure and pour in 1 oz of coffee liqueur, which balances the bitterness with a subtle sweetness.
5. Add 1 oz of simple syrup; tip: if you prefer less sweet, start with ½ oz and adjust after tasting.
6. Secure the lid tightly on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the outside feels frosty—this ensures the drink is well-mixed and cold.
7. Strain the mixture into two chilled martini glasses; tip: chill the glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes beforehand for an extra crisp serve.
8. Garnish each glass with 2–3 coffee beans placed gently on top for a fragrant finish.
Finally, this martini delivers a velvety texture with layers of smoky whiskey and robust coffee that meld beautifully. I love serving it alongside dark chocolate truffles for a decadent pairing, or simply sipping it slowly to savor every nuanced note.
Creamy Jameson Cold Brew Milkshake
Whew, after a long holiday season of baking and hosting, I’ve been craving something indulgent yet refreshing—a treat that feels like a cozy coffee break and a festive cocktail all in one. That’s how this Creamy Jameson Cold Brew Milkshake came to be in my kitchen last weekend, blending my love for rich desserts with a kick of Irish whiskey to unwind.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup of vanilla ice cream (I always use a high-quality brand for that extra creamy texture—it makes all the difference!)
– 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee, chilled (I brew mine strong and keep it in the fridge overnight for a bold flavor)
– 1/4 cup of Jameson Irish Whiskey (this adds a smooth, warming note—perfect for sipping while mixing)
– 1/4 cup of whole milk (I find whole milk blends better than skim for a richer shake)
– 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup (my go-to is a dark chocolate variety for a hint of bitterness)
– Whipped cream for topping (I love making my own with a dash of vanilla, but store-bought works in a pinch)
– Ice cubes, about 1 cup (I use filtered ice to avoid any off-tastes)
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients and ensure the ice cream is slightly softened for easier blending—about 5 minutes out of the freezer does the trick.
2. In a blender, combine 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee, 1/4 cup of Jameson Irish Whiskey, 1/4 cup of whole milk, and 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup.
3. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender to chill the mixture without diluting it too much.
4. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds, or until the shake is smooth and frothy with no visible ice chunks.
5. Check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend for an additional 10 seconds.
6. Pour the shake evenly into two tall glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for toppings.
7. Top each glass generously with whipped cream, using a piping bag or spoon for a neat presentation.
8. Drizzle extra chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for a decorative finish.
9. Serve immediately with straws and spoons for the best experience.
Perfectly creamy and frothy, this milkshake boasts a rich coffee flavor balanced by the smooth warmth of Jameson, with the chocolate adding a sweet depth. I love garnishing it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch—it’s ideal for sipping slowly on a cozy evening or sharing with friends during holiday gatherings.
Chilled Jameson Cold Brew Affogato
My kitchen has seen its fair share of experiments, but this one—a boozy, caffeinated twist on the classic Italian dessert—came about after a particularly long week when I craved both dessert and a nightcap. It’s the perfect marriage of rich, cold coffee and smooth Irish whiskey, poured over creamy vanilla ice cream for a sophisticated yet effortless treat that feels like a reward.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 large scoops of high-quality vanilla ice cream (I always keep a pint in the freezer for emergencies like this)
– 1/2 cup of strongly brewed cold brew coffee, chilled (I make mine extra strong to stand up to the whiskey)
– 2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey (about 1/4 cup—this is my go-to for its smooth, slightly sweet notes)
– Optional: 2 tbsp of whipped cream for topping (because why not add a little extra indulgence?)
Instructions
1. Place two serving glasses or bowls in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill them—this keeps the ice cream from melting too quickly, a tip I picked up from my favorite ice cream shop.
2. Scoop one large scoop of vanilla ice cream into each chilled glass, packing it firmly to create a stable base.
3. In a small measuring cup, combine the 1/2 cup of chilled cold brew coffee and 2 oz of Jameson Irish Whiskey, stirring gently with a spoon to mix them evenly without creating too many bubbles.
4. Slowly pour half of the coffee-whiskey mixture over each scoop of ice cream, aiming to cover it evenly—I like to pour in a circular motion for full coverage, which helps the flavors meld beautifully.
5. If using, top each serving with 1 tbsp of whipped cream, adding it right before serving to keep it fluffy and light.
6. Serve immediately with spoons, encouraging everyone to dig in right away for the best texture contrast between the cold, creamy ice cream and the rich, boozy coffee.
Chilled and creamy, this affogato offers a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors, with the vanilla ice cream slowly melting into the spirited coffee for a grown-up dessert experience. Try serving it in elegant coupe glasses for a dinner party, or enjoy it straight from the bowl on a cozy night in—it’s versatile enough for any occasion.
Refreshing Jameson Cold Brew Lemonade
Picture this: it’s a sweltering summer afternoon, and I’m craving something that combines my love for coffee cocktails with a bright, citrusy kick. After some kitchen experimentation (and a few happy accidents), I landed on this Refreshing Jameson Cold Brew Lemonade—it’s become my go-to for backyard gatherings ever since.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey (I always keep a bottle chilled in the freezer for extra smoothness)
- 8 oz cold brew coffee concentrate (homemade or store-bought—I use a medium roast for balanced flavor)
- 6 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons; I roll them on the counter first to maximize juice)
- 4 oz simple syrup (I make mine with a 1:1 sugar-to-water ratio, but store-bought works too)
- Ice cubes (I prefer large cubes—they melt slower and don’t dilute the drink as quickly)
- Lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs for garnish (my garden mint adds a lovely aromatic touch)
Instructions
- Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, packing them to about three-quarters full.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine 4 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey, 8 oz cold brew coffee concentrate, 6 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 4 oz simple syrup.
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and slightly frothy. Tip: If you don’t have a shaker, use a large jar with a tight lid—it works just as well!
- Strain the mixture evenly into the two prepared glasses over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a fresh mint sprig, gently clapping the mint between your palms before adding to release its aroma. Tip: For a fancier look, thread the lemon slice onto the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer. Tip: If you prefer a less strong coffee flavor, you can dilute with 1–2 oz of cold water per glass after straining.
My favorite part is how the bold coffee and whiskey meld with the zesty lemon—it’s invigorating without being too sweet. Make sure to enjoy it right away while the ice is still crisp; I sometimes add a splash of soda water for a fizzy twist on hot days.
Jameson Cold Brew Chocolate Frappe
Kicking off the holiday season with a cozy twist, I recently whipped up this Jameson Cold Brew Chocolate Frappe after a chilly evening walk—it’s the perfect blend of rich chocolate and smooth coffee with a hint of whiskey warmth. My husband always jokes that I turn everything into a dessert, but this one’s a crowd-pleaser that feels indulgent yet surprisingly easy to make. Trust me, it’s become my go-to for impromptu gatherings or just treating myself after a long day.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup whole milk (I swear by whole milk for that creamy texture—it makes all the difference!)
– 1/2 cup Jameson Cold Brew whiskey (straight from the fridge for a chillier frappe)
– 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (I use a dark chocolate one for a deeper flavor)
– 2 cups ice cubes (crushed ice works best to get that slushy consistency)
– Whipped cream for topping (optional, but I always add a dollop because why not?)
– Chocolate shavings for garnish (a little extra never hurts!)
Instructions
1. In a blender, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup Jameson Cold Brew whiskey, and 1/4 cup chocolate syrup. Tip: Blend on low for 10 seconds first to mix the liquids evenly without splashing.
2. Add 2 cups ice cubes to the blender. Tip: Use crushed ice if available, as it blends faster and creates a smoother frappe—I learned this after a few too-chunky batches!
3. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and slushy with no large ice chunks remaining. Tip: Pause halfway to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.
4. Pour the frappe evenly into two glasses, filling them about 3/4 full to leave room for toppings.
5. Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream, if using, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings for garnish.
6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon for sipping and scooping. Delightfully frothy and cold, this frappe boasts a velvety texture that melts on the tongue, with the chocolate and coffee notes balancing the subtle whiskey kick. For a fun twist, try rimming the glasses with crushed chocolate cookies or adding a drizzle of caramel sauce—it’s a decadent treat that’s sure to warm up any winter evening.
Smooth Jameson Cold Brew Tiramisu
Whew, after a long holiday season of baking cookies and roasting turkeys, I’ve been craving something indulgent yet effortless—a dessert that feels like a cozy nightcap in a dish. That’s how this Smooth Jameson Cold Brew Tiramisu came to be, blending my love for Irish whiskey with my morning coffee ritual into one creamy, no-bake treat. It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert for New Year’s Eve or any lazy weekend when you want to impress without the stress.
Serving: 8 | Pre Time: 25 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (I always keep mine in the fridge overnight for best whipping)
– 8 oz mascarpone cheese, at room temperature (let it sit out 30 minutes—it blends smoother)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup cold brew coffee, strong and chilled (I use my homemade batch, but store-bought works too)
– 1/4 cup Jameson Irish whiskey (or your favorite whiskey—this adds a warm, caramel note)
– 24 ladyfinger cookies (the crisp ones hold up better than soft)
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the room-temperature mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
2. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture for 2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate chilled bowl, pour the chilled heavy cream.
4. Whip the heavy cream on high speed for 3–4 minutes, until stiff peaks form (tip: stop when the cream holds its shape without drooping).
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula until fully combined, being careful not to deflate it.
6. In a shallow dish, mix the cold brew coffee and Jameson Irish whiskey together.
7. Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee-whiskey mixture for 2–3 seconds per side—just enough to moisten without sogginess (tip: work fast to prevent them from falling apart).
8. Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish.
9. Spread half of the mascarpone-cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
10. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone-cream mixture.
11. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight (tip: this chilling time lets the flavors meld and the texture set perfectly).
12. Just before serving, dust the top evenly with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Layers of coffee-kissed cookies and velvety cream meld into a dessert that’s rich but not heavy, with the whiskey adding a subtle warmth that lingers. I love serving it in individual glasses for a fancy touch, or scooping it straight from the dish for a more rustic feel—either way, it’s a crowd-pleaser that tastes even better the next day.
Invigorating Jameson Cold Brew Mojito
Remember those long summer evenings when you crave something refreshing yet with a little kick? I recently discovered this delightful twist on a classic mojito during a backyard barbecue, and it’s become my go-to for entertaining—or just treating myself after a busy day. It’s the perfect balance of coffee warmth and minty freshness, guaranteed to liven up any gathering.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 oz Jameson Cold Brew (I love its smooth coffee notes—it’s my secret weapon for a rich base)
– 1 oz fresh lime juice (always squeeze it yourself; bottled just doesn’t compare for that zesty punch)
– ¾ oz simple syrup (I make a big batch ahead to keep on hand for impromptu drinks)
– 6–8 fresh mint leaves (from my little herb garden; they add such a vibrant aroma)
– Club soda, chilled (about 2 oz, straight from the fridge for maximum fizz)
– Ice cubes (I use large cubes to prevent quick dilution)
– Lime wheel and mint sprig for garnish (a pretty touch that makes it feel special)
Instructions
1. Place the mint leaves in a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
2. Add the simple syrup to the glass with the mint.
3. Gently muddle the mint and simple syrup together for about 10 seconds—just enough to release the oils without tearing the leaves, which can make it bitter (tip: press lightly in a circular motion).
4. Pour the Jameson Cold Brew into the glass with the muddled mint mixture.
5. Add the fresh lime juice to the glass.
6. Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving a little space at the top.
7. Securely cover the glass with a shaker tin or lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well-chilled and slightly frothy (tip: shake until the outside feels frosty to the touch).
8. Strain the mixture into a fresh glass filled with new ice cubes to keep it crisp.
9. Top the drink with chilled club soda, pouring slowly down the side to preserve the bubbles.
10. Gently stir the drink once with a bar spoon to combine without losing carbonation.
11. Garnish with a lime wheel and a fresh mint sprig by placing them on the rim or floating on top.
12. Serve immediately with a straw for easy sipping (tip: use a reusable metal straw for an eco-friendly touch).
Zesty and invigorating, this mojito boasts a silky texture with lively bubbles that dance on your tongue. The coffee undertones from the Jameson meld beautifully with the bright mint, creating a sophisticated yet approachable flavor. For a creative twist, try serving it in a mason jar with a cinnamon stick stirrer—it adds a cozy, aromatic note that’s perfect for chilly evenings too.
Jameson Cold Brew White Russian
There’s something magical about combining two of my favorite indulgences—coffee and a classic cocktail—into one cozy, grown-up treat. I first tried this Jameson Cold Brew White Russian at a friend’s holiday party last winter, and after one sip, I knew I had to recreate it at home for those chilly evenings when you want something special but don’t feel like fussing with complicated recipes. It’s become my go-to for casual gatherings or just unwinding after a long day.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 oz Jameson Cold Brew (I love how its smooth coffee notes blend perfectly—chilled straight from the fridge works best)
– 1 oz coffee liqueur, like Kahlúa (this is non-negotiable for that rich sweetness)
– 1 oz heavy cream (I always use full-fat for the creamiest texture; shake the carton well before measuring)
– Ice cubes (about 1 cup, preferably large cubes to slow dilution—I keep a tray in the freezer just for cocktails)
Instructions
1. Fill a rocks glass (I use a short, sturdy one) completely with ice cubes, packing them in to chill the glass thoroughly.
2. Pour 2 oz of Jameson Cold Brew directly over the ice in the glass.
3. Add 1 oz of coffee liqueur to the glass, pouring it slowly to layer it with the whiskey.
4. In a separate small container, like a measuring cup or shaker, combine 1 oz of heavy cream with a spoon—I give it a quick stir to slightly thicken it, which helps it float better.
5. Gently pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon held just above the drink’s surface to create a creamy top layer; this slow pour prevents it from mixing in too quickly.
6. Let the drink sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to allow the layers to settle—you’ll see a beautiful gradient from dark coffee to light cream.
7. Serve immediately with a cocktail stirrer or straw for mixing to your preference; I like to give it one gentle swirl before sipping to blend the flavors slightly.
Upon first sip, you’re greeted with the bold, aromatic kick of cold brew whiskey, mellowed by the sweet coffee liqueur and smoothed out by that luscious cream—it’s like a dessert and nightcap in one. I sometimes garnish it with a few coffee beans or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch, especially during the holidays, but it’s just as satisfying served straight up in its simple, layered glory.
Rich Jameson Cold Brew Brownie Sundae
During the holiday rush, I found myself craving something that combined my love for rich desserts with my afternoon coffee ritual—and that’s how this decadent treat was born. Picture this: fudgy brownies infused with cold brew coffee, topped with a smooth Jameson-spiked sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for those cozy winter evenings when you want dessert to feel a little extra special.
Serving: 8 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (I always sift mine first to avoid lumps)
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use dark cocoa for a richer flavor)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (I prefer cane sugar here for its subtle molasses notes)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (let it cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature (they blend better into the batter)
- ½ cup strong cold brew coffee (I make mine extra bold—it really shines through)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure extract makes all the difference)
- ¼ cup Jameson Irish Whiskey (for the sauce—it adds a warm, caramel-like depth)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for whipping into the sauce; cold cream whips up faster)
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving (I love a high-quality, creamy brand)
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish (I use a vegetable peeler on a dark chocolate bar)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until no lumps remain.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Fold in ½ cup strong cold brew coffee until the batter is uniform, then pour it into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack—this helps them set without becoming gummy.
- While cooling, make the sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm ¼ cup Jameson Irish Whiskey for 1–2 minutes to cook off some alcohol, then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 3–4 minutes.
- Gently fold the warmed Jameson into the whipped cream until fully incorporated, creating a light, boozy sauce.
- Cut the cooled brownies into squares and place each on a plate, then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzle the Jameson cream sauce over the ice cream and brownie, and garnish with chocolate shavings.
But what makes this sundae truly unforgettable is the contrast of the warm, fudgy brownie against the cold, creamy ice cream, with the Jameson sauce adding a subtle warmth that lingers. Serve it immediately to enjoy that gooey texture, or for a fun twist, try it with a sprinkle of sea salt to balance the sweetness. It’s a dessert that feels indulgent yet surprisingly easy to pull off for guests.
Jameson Cold Brew Spiked Hot Cocoa
Diving into the holiday season, I always crave something that warms both my hands and my spirit—and this year, I’ve perfected a boozy hot cocoa that’s become my go-to for cozy nights in. It’s the kind of treat that makes you want to curl up by the fire with a good book, blending rich chocolate with a smooth whiskey kick that’s surprisingly easy to whip up.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 cups whole milk (I swear by whole milk for that creamy texture—it makes all the difference!)
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Dutch-processed for a deeper flavor)
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust if you like it less sweet, but this is my sweet spot)
– 1/4 cup heavy cream (a splash adds luxurious richness)
– 2 oz Jameson Cold Brew whiskey (chilled straight from the fridge—it blends better when cold)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure vanilla is my go-to for that warm aroma)
– Whipped cream for topping (I always make extra because who can resist?)
– Chocolate shavings for garnish (a few curls from a dark chocolate bar elevate it beautifully)
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
2. Whisk continuously for 3–4 minutes until the cocoa and sugar are fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking—this avoids any lumps.
3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream, cooking for another 2 minutes until it’s warmed through but not boiling.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for 1 minute to avoid curdling when adding the alcohol.
5. Pour in 2 oz Jameson Cold Brew whiskey and 1 tsp vanilla extract, stirring gently to incorporate without over-mixing.
6. Divide the hot cocoa evenly between two mugs, filling them about three-quarters full.
7. Top each mug with a generous dollop of whipped cream, using a spoon to create soft peaks.
8. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the whipped cream for a decorative finish.
9. Serve immediately while hot, with a spoon for stirring if desired.
Let this spiked hot cocoa envelop you in its velvety richness, where the dark chocolate notes mingle seamlessly with the coffee-infused whiskey for a grown-up twist.
