Have you ever imagined a world without coffee in it? Coffee is not just a drink or a morning ritual; it brings people together. It is a conversation starter, a culture builder, a stress buster, a connector and sometimes even a relationship restorer. The strong aroma of coffee is enough to unite people from all over the world on October 1 every year to celebrate International Coffee Day. But how can you celebrate any occasion without a sweet accompaniment like chocolate?
Deep Dark Magnum Coffee Cocktail by Bartender Anand Thapa – MIMI Elevated Cocktails – Bar and Restaurant, Jaipur
Ingredients:
50 ml Irish whisky
15 ml Pattern Café
30 ml Coffee Deduction
10 ml maple syrup
Coffee foam
Dark chocolate pieces
Shaving chocolate for garnish
Champagne saucer glass
Instructions:
Start by preparing your ingredients and equipment. Make sure your champagne flute glass is chilled and have your coffee foam and dark chocolate chips ready.
Mix the following ingredients in a mixing glass:
50 ml Irish whisky
15 ml Pattern Café
30 ml Coffee Deduction
10 ml maple syrup
Place a stirrer in the mixing glass and gently stir the mixture for about 60 seconds. This will help blend the flavors and chill the cocktail.
After stirring, pour the cocktail into your chilled champagne saucer glass. Make sure you don’t fill it to the brim so that you leave some room for the garnish.
Prepare the rim of the champagne saucer glass by dipping it in coffee foam. The foam should lightly cover the rim of the glass.
To add an extra touch of elegance, gently press pieces of dark chocolate onto the coffee foam around the rim of the glass.
Finally, garnish your Deep Dark Magnum Coffee Cocktail with shaved chocolate on top of the drink. You can use a grater or a chocolate shaver to make delicate chocolate shavings.
Serve your coffee cocktail immediately and enjoy. This sophisticated coffee cocktail combines the rich flavors of Irish whisky, coffee and Patron Cafe with the sweetness of maple syrup, all beautifully complemented by the coffee foam and dark chocolate garnishes. It is a delicious drink for those who appreciate a balanced and visually appealing cocktail.
