    🥘 Ingredients

    Three ingredients for our delicious Scotch coffee recipe.
    • Heavy Whipping Cream & a teaspoon of Sugar (for our homemade Irish cream whipped cream)
    • Brown Sugar
    • Use your finest Scotch Whiskey
    • Strong, hot coffee, freshly brewed with your favorite coffee beans

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    The first thing you'll want to do is add two teaspoons of brown sugar to two serving glasses. You'll also want to drizzle each glass with 3–4 tablespoons of Scotch Whisky.

    The next thing you'll need to do is brew a strong, hot coffee in your coffee maker or French Press — if you're feeling extra fancy! If using the coffee maker, brew the coffee directly into a pot. This makes it easier to pour the coffee afterward.

    Once your coffee is ready, you can divide your wonderful, caffeinated beverage between the two glasses.

    You could stop here and simply enjoy it as is — but personally, I think this next optional step takes this recipe to a whole other level! 

    If you want a little something extra, you can also add sweetened whipped cream, or even better, make your own whipped Irish Cream! 

    Lovely scotch coffee with a beautiful soft whipped cream topping. The perfect brunch beverage.

    Instructions for Homemade Whipped Irish Cream

    To do this, you'll need to whip your two cups of heavy cream with a little bit of sugar until it's semi-still. 

    OR — Pour Heavy cream, Confectioners' sugar, and Baileys Irish cream into a tall mixing bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

    Once you've got the right consistency, all that's left to do is garnish your Scotch Coffee!

    This recipe is best enjoyed while it's still hot and fresh!

    🍀 Variations

    If you're not the biggest fan of Scotch and would prefer to use Irish Whiskey, or another single malt whiskey instead, that's totally fine!

    At that point, you'll just be enjoying an Irish Coffee since only whiskey made in Scotland can be called "Scotch." 

    🍽 Equipment

    • Measuring Tools
    • Cannikin - small metal pitcher
    • Coffee Machine or French Press
    • Serving Glasses

    🌡 Storage

    Store the wet ingredients (lettuce, tomato, onion) separately from the dry ingredients (buns) in the fridge, and recombine when ready. Good for 2-3 days.

    These ingredients do/don't stand up well to freezing for X days/weeks/months.

    💭 Top tips

    For this Scottish coffee, it's important you don't "over whip" the heavy cream. You'll want to make sure you stop whipping once you have a semi-stiff consistency — you don't want to end up with stiff peaks!  

    Not only does the soft whipped cream floats wonderfully on top of your coffee, but it also looks better!

    This recipe is also great on a chilly evening — but I definitely recommend brewing up a pot of decaf if you don't want to be up all night!

    🙋🏻 FAQ

    What is Scotch Coffee?

    A Scotch Coffee is made with coffee (or sometimes a shot or two of espresso if you prefer something a little stronger) and Scotch Whisky! 

    What's the difference between Scotch Whisky and Whiskey? 

    There is a slight difference between the two — and not just the spelling! Scotch Whisky is made and bottled entirely in Scotland. Whiskey with an "e" is made everywhere else. 

    Is Scotch good in coffee?

    Yes, Scotch is delicious in coffee! If you're a coffee lover who also enjoys a nice glass of Scotch, you'll love the two ingredients together! 

    What is it called when you mix coffee and whiskey?

    When you combine coffee and whiskey, you end up with an Irish Coffee! 

    Does Scotch and coffee go together?

    Yes! Scotch and coffee are a delicious combination!
