"This cocktail is part of our menu which explores our shared childhood memories and nostalgia through smell and aroma.

The coffee, tonka and cloves perfectly match the intensity of the roasted oranges infused with Irish whisky. Served perfectly warm with a dollop of cold whipped cream it is very cozy."

– Massimo Zitti, Mother Cocktail bar

Ingredients

  • 1 oz infused Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whisky
  • ½ oz salted maple water
  • 15 oz spiced coffee
  • Whipped cream for garnish

Infused whisky

  • 750 ml Tullamore D.E.W.
  • 150 g oranges

Salted maple water

Method

  1. For the infused whisky, roast the oranges in the oven at 300 F for 40 mins. Place in a jar with whisky for 48 hours.
  2. For the salted maple water, combine the maple syrup and water in a pan over low heat. Keep below 55 C. Dissolve the salt and transfer the mixture to a nonreactive container. Will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days.
