Boozy Orange Coffee: A Spirited Twist on Your Morning Cup

Indulge in a sophisticated twist to your usual coffee routine with this Boozy Orange Coffee recipe, perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra kick or for a cozy evening treat. Combining the rich, bold flavors of coffee with the citrusy zest of Cointreau, this recipe offers a delightful balance of sweetness and spirit.

Ingredients:

• 25ml Cointreau: You can increase it up to 50ml for a stronger orange flavor.
• 150ml freshly brewed black coffee: Adjust the amount up to 200ml depending on your preference for strength.
• 1 tsp brown sugar: Optional, adjust up to 2 tsp if you prefer a sweeter taste.
• 50ml chilled double cream: Optional, for those who enjoy a creamy texture.

Directions:

1. Prepare the Glass: Start by pouring the Cointreau into a warm, heatproof glass. This base layer of orange liqueur will beautifully infuse the coffee with a bright citrus note.
2. Brew and Mix: Add 150-200ml of freshly brewed black coffee to the glass. Stir thoroughly to integrate the coffee with the Cointreau. If you like your coffee on the sweeter side, feel free to stir in 1-2 teaspoons of brown sugar.
3. Add a Creamy Top: If you’re opting for cream, take 50ml of chilled double cream and whip it lightly until it thickens. Then, very slowly pour the cream over the back of a teaspoon directly into the glass. This technique helps the cream float on top of the coffee, creating a visually striking and deliciously creamy layer.
