The Sun Tavern’s Frozen Irish Coffee
Ingredients
40ml Irish Whiskey
15ml Coffee Liquor
25ml Espresso Coffee (if you don’t have espresso you can use a strong instant coffee)
2 x large scoops of vanilla ice cream
2 x ice cubes
Method
Add all ingredients together into a blender and blend until smooth (be sure not to over blend; your frozen Irish coffee should have the consistency of a very thick milkshake). Garnish with coffee beans or dust with ground coffee.
Place the Baileys Almande, ice cubes, vanilla and chopped peach in a blender and blend until you like the consistency.
Mix the icing sugar with a few drops of water to make a smooth thick paste. Coat the rim of two glasses with it, then dip them in the coconut shavings, press to secure them on.
Add 45ml Brockmans Gin, 25ml Combier Rose Liqueur, 5ml Lemon juice and 100ml Rosé wine to a shaker and shake over ice. Then strain the contents into a large stemmed wine glass filled with crushed ice.
Alternatively add all the ingredients into a blender with ice cubes and blend until the ice is crushed, then scoop the frozen mixture into a large stemmed wine glass. Garnish with sugared or fresh rose petals.
Add all the ingredients to a blender with a scoop of ice and blend until smooth. Pour into a collins or hurricane glass and float the cherry brandy on top. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a cherry.
