Espresso-Salted Irish Coffee

Our Espresso-Salted Irish Coffee is the perfect way to warm up any evening. The coffee is drunk by sipping it through the whipped cream. The espresso salt adds a perfect mix of crunch and contrast to the flavors and textures. We used regular coffee, but you could use decaf for a late-night treat.

• 1 Cube Brown Sugar
• 1 Shot Irish Whiskey (We used Tullamore Dew)
• 1 Splash Grand Marnier
• Sprinkle of Salt Cellar Espresso Sea Salt
• Whipped cream (if homemade do not add sugar)

To Make:

• Pour 8 oz. hot coffee into each mug
• Add a cube brown sugar and stir to dissolve
• Add one shot of Irish Whiskey
• Add a splash of Grand Marnier
• Carefully spoon whipped cream on top, be careful not to mix in with coffee
• Sprinkle with Salt Cellar Espresso Sea Salt
• Sip and enjoy!
