Food & Drink :: Nespresso Holiday Irish Coffee

Now that Christmas is over, what can you possibly do with all the leftover candy canes?! Sprinkle them over your favourite coffee cocktail for an elevated touch! Kyle and I are spending the next few days up north with a friends to ring in the New Year, nothing beats a hot beverage after a day on the slopes or by the fire, and when the coffee is as good as NESPRESSO‘s combined with the creamy flavour of Irish Liqueur, well all I can say is that life is good!

I’ve brought my VertuoLine machine to the cottage during the summer, I don’t see why I wouldn’t be able to do the same for this short winter escape. My friends are going to stoked to wake up to a cup of awesome coffee, and on New Year Day, I plan to surprise them with a hot, delicious cup of Irish Coffee topped with a handful of crushed candy canes.

What You Will Need:

VertuoLine machine or Original Prodigio machine
2 part Irish Cream Liqueur
6 part hot coffee (I love the limited edition NESPRESSO Sachertorte flavoured Espresso or Ciocattino is equally a great choice!)
Crushed candy canes
Whipped cream
Reveal Festive Lungo Glasses

Steps:

Brew hot coffee and pour into tasting glasses / Mix in Irish Cream Liqueur / Top with whipped cream / Sprinkle crushed candy canes

The sprinkle of candy canes adds an unexpected element of sweetness and peppermint! These are so festive and a fun way to celebrate the start of 2017.
