Coffee with a wee nip of whiskey is a perfect pairing on a chilly evening.
This concoction has become a favorite St. Patrick’s Day after-dinner cocktail. Arlis Cerreti, the Woodmark Hotel’s food & beverage director, has shared with 425 the Woodmark’s recipe for this classic drink. It has an extra touch of sweetness, with a garnish of chocolate shavings. It’s an indulgent way to enjoy your favorite dark, espresso-roast coffee with the smoky hint of Irish whiskey.
