About This Cocktail
The "Thai Coffee" cocktail is a rich, indulgent drink inspired by the traditional Thai iced coffee, which combines the bold, deep flavors of coffee with sweetened condensed milk and spices. In cocktail form, it typically features strong coffee or espresso, paired with a spirit like rum or vodka, and sweetened with condensed milk or a touch of sugar. The result is a smooth, creamy drink with a perfect balance of sweetness and caffeine kick. Often served over ice, Thai Coffee may be garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or cardamom to add an aromatic, spiced note. This cocktail is a great choice for coffee lovers who enjoy a slightly exotic twist on their usual brew, offering both a caffeine boost and a deliciously decadent flavor.

How to Mix
Place the coffee and spices in the filter cone of your coffee maker. Brew coffee as usual, let it cool. In a tall glass, dissolve 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar in an ounce of the coffee (it's easier to dissolve than if you put it right over ice). Add 5-6 ice cubes and pour coffee to within about 1 inch of the top of the glass. Rest a spoon on top of the coffee and slowly pour whipping cream into the spoon. This will make the cream float on top of the coffee rather than dispersing into it right away.
