- Difficulty: Easy peasy
- Time: under 5 minutes total
- Active time: under 5 minutes
Crave-worthy Ingredients (4)
- 1 large egg white
- 2 ounces Homemade Coffee Liqueur (If you're short on time, whip up a quick simpified version by combining strong brewed coffee, a pinch of sugar, and some vodka or rum in a ratio of about 1 cup coffee to 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4 cup vodka/rum. Let it steep for just a few minutes to get your DIY coffee liqueur ready.)
- 1/2 ounce heavy cream
- Ice
Let's Get Brewing
- Chill a cocktail glass in the freezer while you prep.
- Combine the egg white, coffee liqueur, and cream in a cocktail shaker. Shake the hell out of it until it gets all frothy, around about 30 seconds.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice, cover it, and shake again until the outside becomes icy cold, around another 30 seconds.
- Strain the frothy goodness into the chilled glass.
Enjoy this insanely good drink, and you can even top it off with some chocolate shavings or whipped cream, if you fancy!
Behind the Scenes:To create this mind-blowing Cold and Frothy Coffee Flip using homemade coffee liqueur, you'll need four main ingredients and can prepare it in under five minutes. Here's a recipe inspired by elements from both dalgona coffee and coffee mocktails:
Ingredients
- Homemade Coffee Liqueur: (If you don't have it, you can quickly make a simplified version by combining strong brewed coffee, a bit of sugar, and vodka or rum in a ratio of about 1 cup coffee to 1/2 cup sugar to 1/4 cup vodka/rum. Let it steep for a few minutes if you're in a hurry.)
- Heavy Cream
- Ice
- Cold Brew Coffee (as the base)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a glass with ice to keep your drink cold throughout.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine about 2 oz of cold brew coffee, 1 oz of homemade coffee liqueur, and 1 oz of heavy cream.
- Shake Vigorously: Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10 to 15 seconds until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. The cream and coffee will create a frothy top layer, akin to a flip.
- Optional Garnish: Garnish with a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or whipped cream on top, if desired.
This recipe should give you a rich, cold, and frothy coffee drink perfect for warm days. If you have time to prepare the coffee liqueur ahead, it will surely enhance the flavor.
