CAKE OR DEATH
Coffee, cassis, aquavit
and vanilla cream
This is my update on the Irish
coffee – and it’s distinctly
not Irish! Whiskey matches
the dark, burnt-toffee notes
of cheap coffee (which is, of
course, fine to use). But I find
herbal, red berry brightness
when using good coffee.
Gather Method
10g (1/3oz) freshly ground coffee Brew the coffee with 6 shots (150ml/6oz)
boiling water. Filter and keep warm. Gently
whip double cream with the seeds of the va-
nilla pod, and a little sugar if desired. Fill a
hot-temperature-safe glass (a thick-walled hi-
ball or a stemmed glass) with hot water, then
discard. Add the booze, top with hot coffee,
then spoon over vanilla cream.
4 shots (100ml/4oz) double
(heavy) cream
1 vanilla pod
Sugar (if required)
1 shot (25ml/1oz) aquavit
Just under 1 shot (20ml/0.8oz) crème de cassis
