Taste of the County: Iced Coffee Cocktail

Iced Coffee Cocktail

I have some tasty tips for the best iced coffee cocktail. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy with a few coffee-loving friends. This dreamy cocktail is perfect to enjoy at brunch or sip slowly enjoying conversation.

The recipe uses the same method Starbucks baristas use to make oatmilk shaken espressos. Instead of running to the coffee shop, you can make your own at home … and add booze to it. *wink wink* Wolf Head Distillery offers a delicious coffee whisky that makes this cocktail especially delightful.

Cheers!

Sweeten to your liking & add:

1.5 oz or 2 oz of coffee whisky from @drinkwolfhead

Shake it up :

Add everything in a shaker (except milk) and shake to incorporate all of the ingredients and dilute them slightly. Then, you can dump everything right into a tall glass, ice included!

Top with milk of choice: 

Adding milk on top of your coffee creates a pretty, cascading effect.

Ingredients I used:

  •   1 oz. espresso @nespresso.ca
  •   2 oz. coffee whisky @drinkwolfhead
  •   1 dash ground cinnamon
  •   1 cup ice
  •   4 oz. oat milk (or any dairy of choice )

Preparation:

Pour espresso, coffee and whiskey into a shaker cup.

Add a dash of cinnamon and a cup of ice to the shaker cup.

Cover and shake vigorously until the cup is very cold to the touch.

Pour all of the contents (including ice) directly into a tall glass. Top with oat milk and add a straw.

Stir and enjoy!

Rosa Marrello lives in Lakeshore, Essex County with her husband and son who have become her main food critics since the inception of her food account on Instagram.

A retired school teacher as of June 2020, she has devoted some of her extra free time away from the classroom to educate and inspire her followers in the kitchen creating real basic meals.

Rosa participates in a few collaborations monthly, but one that is dear to her is the #monthlybakedwithlove. She donates her baked goods to local charities and citizens in her community to brighten their day.

All baked goods are made with love in hopes that whomever eats or samples her baked goods may feel LOVE — even if it’s for a brief moment in time. She metaphorically believes that the cookies are inspiring bites of hope and encouragement.

Rosa Marrello supports local businesses and eagerly helps them by promoting their products on social media.

She is adamant that supporting others creates connections — a quality she instilled often in her classroom — she often told her students to pay attention to those who are around them.

Heavily influenced by her Italian culture, her love of cooking came at a very young age and she is now eagerly enjoying her leisurely time cooking and recipe-tinkering.

Rosa loves to cook and entertain her family and friends in her kitchen, but when she is not in the kitchen, she enjoys travelling, live entertainment, reading, working out, taking long walks, listening to music, and having meaningful conversations with people.

Rosa believes that food brings people together — it’s a celebration of life and she loves living a tasty life.
