Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Warm the glass

    Fill a heatproof mug or Irish coffee glass with hot water to warm while you assemble ingredients. Let sit 1–2 minutes, then discard the water.

  2. 2

    Combine base ingredients

    In a mixing glass or heatproof measuring cup, add maple syrup, lemon juice and the dashes of Angostura bitters. Stir briefly to dissolve the syrup into the lemon and bitters.

  3. 3

    Add spirits and coffee

    Pour in the Canadian rye and coffee liqueur, then add the hot brewed coffee. Stir gently for 10–15 seconds to combine and slightly aerate. Taste and adjust sweetness with an additional 1/4 tbs maple syrup if desired.

  4. 4

    Strain and serve

    Discard the warming water from the glass. Strain the cocktail into the warmed mug or glass. The drink should be hot and integrated.

  5. 5

    Finish and garnish

    Float the optional whipped cream on top (if using) by spooning it gently so it forms a layer. Stud the lemon wheel or twist with the whole clove and rest it on the rim or float it atop the drink. Serve immediately.
