The British-controlled Indian subcontinent has the history of hot alcoholic beverages. The first version consisted of boiling water and scotch. Hot water was eventually infused with various spices and herbs. There are many hot alcoholic beverages that you can enjoy today.
Irish coffee
An Irish coffee refers to a hot, caffeinated alcoholic beverage that is made from Irish whiskey (hot coffee), sugar, and cream. Traditionally, the drink is filtered through thick cream. This makes it extremely refreshing. Once the mixture is cooled, add the whiskey to it and stir.
You can call the drink Gailic Coffee or Caife Gaelach. It originated on an airport outside Limerick, now Shannon International Airport. Its popularity grew after a restaurant chef, Joe Sheridan, made it at an emergency landing in Foynes, Ireland. Stanton Delaplace (a late journalist) passed the idea on, making it popular throughout the world.
Spiked Hot Chocolate White
Spiked White Hot Chocolate - A fun, adult beverage that celebrates season's spirit. This drink is made with white chocolate and bourbon. It's an ideal choice for holiday movie night or party.
This alcoholic drink can be made in a matter of minutes. It is made with white chocolate chips mixed with milk, sugar, salt, and sugar. Combine all of the ingredients in one saucepan. Heat over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Let the mixture simmer for a minute. Add a splash of bourbon if desired.
Caramel Irish Coffee
The drink has a mild alcohol content of around 13 percent ABV (alcohol-by-volume), or 26 proof. This alcohol content is low and comparable to a glass or wine in the cocktail industry. Caramel Irish espresso is a wonderful choice if you want a warm and delicious beverage.
A caramel Irish coffee pairs well with Irish whiskey. Jameson Irish whiskey has a sweet, subtly spicy taste. You can make it less boozy by adding a bit of salted caramel sauce, or kosher salt.
Baileys Hot Chocolate
Baileys hot chocolate is an alcoholic beverage made with Irish whiskey, cocoa and other ingredients. It can be topped with whipped cream and sprinkles to add an extra touch of decadence to any hot chocolate. Drink this drink with at minimum two ounces Jameson Irish Whiskey.
This alcoholic drink tastes rich and creamy after a long day at work. It is also great for romantic evenings with your significant partner. It's sweet enough that it will satisfy your sweet tooth.
