So it has quickly become my drink of choice. The recipe I use is quite simplistic. Coffee, Irish whisky (bushmills is my favorite so far), brown sugar and cream. Sometimes I like to top it with whipped cream... But Shane (Deejmemix) Gets mad at me for it. lol Any of you gents have any variations on the recipe? Im thinking cinnamon would be a nice addition. other than that my originality is fairly lame. lol

    I've been craving. We bought some cream to make soup with, but we got too much. Hmmmm. Might just have to make it tonight and go have a smoke. I usually use plain sugar, not brown. Might have to try it.

    Baileys huh? That sounds amazing!!! Why hadnt I thought I'd that? I want to try that now. I've been thinking about twisting the Irish Coffee a bit. Instead of regular coffee I want to do espresso. Now thanks to you I'm gonna twist it more with Baileys!

    As for the sugar... White granulated or sugar in the raw is good. But with a nice dark brown sugar there is a caramely and molasses undertones. It's quite delightful. Offsets the other ingredients very well. Give it a shot and lemme know what you think!

    So it looks like I have to float a lightly whipped heavy cream on the top. Has anyone floated cream on top of their drinks? can it be hand whipped or does it have to be done with a hand mixer?

    Nice job Chaos, looks really good! What's the whole point of lighting it on fire besides the "cool" factor? I get it on food but not necessarily on a drink?

    It's supposed to change the flavor up a bit. I did notice a difference in the drinks flavor but I don't think it was from the flaming whisky. Lol but for me it's mostly the look cool factor. :) I'll do some research as to why the whisky should be lit and see what comes up. :)

    Cool and I hear ya Chaos, and honestly there is no discounting just the cool and fun factor of that. It's there for a reason and it's fun honestly, but I'm curious to see what you find out if there is a chemical change as well that shows why you'd do it besides just fun and cool.

    Ok so from what it looks like in my "research" lol lighting the chosen beverage helps burn off some of the alcohol. So if you intent is to drink and get buzzed... don't light your drink. Primarily the burning off of the alcohol helps intensify the natural flavors in the drink. our bodies have a hard time distinguishing flavors when the taste buds are being bombarded with alcohol. So helps break down the booze taste and brings up the other flavor profiles.

    I typically do my coffee straight and my whiskey straight bwahaha. Though I do need to try this and if I get up to Millwailukee area I with Chaos thank you!

    I do make a MEAN home made hot chocolate with espresso vodka and St. Brendan's Irish cream mixed in. It's leaded and delish!
