Kentucky Coffee
Kentucky coffee is an after-dinner drink made with strongly brewed coffee, cream, sugar, and bourbon. It's a superb holiday sipper, and so easy to make.
Ingredients
- 8 sugar cubes, or 8 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 12 tablespoons good-quality bourbon
- 4 cups freshly brewed, strong, hot coffee
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, lightly whipped
Instructions
- Place 2 sugar cubes (or 2 teaspoons sugar) in each of four 12-ounce coffee mugs.
- Add 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) bourbon to each mug. Using a muddler or the end of a heavy long-handled spoon, muddle the sugar and bourbon until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour 1 cup hot coffee into each mug. Rest the back of a clean, dry teaspoon against the inside of the glass and slooooooowly pour the thickened cream down the back of the spoon and into the glass. (This way the cream will float on top of the coffee. It's a boss presentation, trust us.) Serve immediately.
