About This Cocktail
Thai Iced Coffee is a rich, indulgent, and aromatic drink that combines strong coffee with sweetened condensed milk and a touch of spices, creating a creamy, bold, and refreshing cocktail experience. Inspired by the traditional Thai iced coffee served in many Thai cafes, the cocktail version typically incorporates a spirit such as rum or coffee liqueur, giving it an extra layer of depth and complexity. To prepare a Thai Iced Coffee cocktail, freshly brewed strong coffee (or espresso) is mixed with a generous amount of sweetened condensed milk to provide sweetness and creaminess. A splash of rum or a coffee-flavored liqueur like Kahlúa can be added to introduce some warmth and richness. The mixture is then poured over ice and stirred to combine, resulting in a chilled, comforting drink. Garnishing with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or cardamom enhances the exotic spiced profile of the drink, making it a flavorful and aromatic treat. The Thai Iced Coffee cocktail is perfect for coffee lovers who want something a little more decadent and spirited—ideal for after-dinner sipping or as a relaxing drink on a warm day.

How to Mix
Prepare a pot of coffee at a good European strength. In the ground coffee, add 2 or 3 freshly ground cardamom pods. Sweeten while hot, then cool quickly. Serve in highball glass over ice, with cream. To get the layered effect, place a spoon atop the coffee and pour the milk carefully into the spoon so that it floats on the top of the coffee.
