People have been mixing their coffee with alcohol for as long as coffee has been around. Irish coffee, which is coffee and whisky, is a popular choice – and the good news is that Jameson have now brought in their new cold brew option, which combines coffee with this amazing classic Irish whiskey. What is Jameson cold brew? Jameson cold brew is made with a blend of Columbian and Brazilian Arabica beans, with around half an espresso shot worth of caffeine in each ounce. It does have a lower alcohol content than you’d expect from Jameson whiskey alone, at 30% ABV. It contains 140 calories in each 3oz serving. If you are interested in trying Jameson cold brew, then here are some great Jameson cold brew recipes that you might want to try.
About Jameson Cold Brew
We’ve been enjoying coffee and whiskey together with Irish whiskey coffee combinations for many decades, and now, Jameson cold brew has made making your favorite Irish whisky coffee drinks even easier. While it’s fantastic to drink right out of the bottle, you can also add it to a range of mixers for an even more delightful beverage.
Jameson is a popular whiskey that is produced in Ireland. Their new cold brew whiskey adds a natural cold brew to the classic triple-distilled Jameson Irish Whiskey, resulting in a tasty and smooth beverage that has an intense coffee aroma.
While there’s not a huge backstory to it, Jameson say that whiskey and cold brew is a combination that their customers have been asking for over the years. They say that Jameson Cold Brew is designed to celebrate a passion for goof coffee and good whiskey by combining the richness of natural cold brew coffee and the smooth flavor of the triple distilled Jameson whiskey into the same bottle. It is labelled as a flavored whiskey rather than a liquor, which is why it’s just as easy to drink on its own as it is when combined with mixers or cocktails. It is a very dry whiskey without a lot of sweetness other than a hint of honey. Its main driver is the whiskey base than the coffee flavor and has notes of black coffee and charred wood.
What is Cold Brew?
Since you can mix Jameson Cold brew with regular cold brew for a range of tasty recipes, it can help to understand more about cold brew and how it is made. Along with this, since the Jameson Cold Brew is limited edition, knowing how to make cold brew means that you can also make your own using your favorite cold brew coffee added to classic Jameson whiskey.
Cold brew coffee is prepared by steeping coffee grounds in cold or room temperature water for an extended period of time. If you want to make cold brew, you will need to make sure that you leave plenty of time for preparation since generally it needs to brew for a minimum of twelve hours. It is different to iced coffee, which refers to hot coffee that is brewed over ice to cool it down. Cold brew is brewed for a longer time in cold water to allow the flavors to develop, giving it a more mellow and less acidic taste compared to coffee brewed with hot water. This results in a flavorful and smooth beverage.
Jameson Cold Brew and Cream Soda
Let’s start with a really easy recipe for Jameson cold brew drinks. All you need to do is combine your Jameson and coffee with your favorite cream soda. A diet cream soda will work just as well if you want to reduce the calories content. Over ice, combine Jameson cold brew with two times as much cream soda, and your drink is ready! Experiment with how much soda you add if you like until you get the desired sweetness level.
Jameson Cold Brew and Cola
Another simple recipe to try using Jameson cold brew whiskey is Jameson cold brew and cola. You can use regular or diet cola depending on which you prefer. Cola is a popular choice when it comes to what to mix with Jameson so it’s no surprise that it goes down well as one of the most well-loved Jameson recipes for cold brew too. Similar to the last recipe, mix your desired amount of Jameson cold brew with two parts Coca Cola or Diet Coke. You can pour it over ice if you like, and garnish with an orange or lemon twist.
Jameson Cold Brew Tonic
Cold brew tonic is another popular and easy recipe to try when it comes to making your own Jameson cold brew cocktail. To make this drink, put ice into a tall or highball glass, and pour two parts Jameson cold brew and two parts of your favorite tonic water over the ice, before mixing together with a long spoon. If you like, you can garnish with a wedge of orange, lemon or lime depending on what you prefer. While it’s a simple recipe, it’s a very refreshing drink that is perfect for the summer.
Jameson Cold Brew Hot Chocolate
If you want to use Jameson cold brew whiskey to make a warming and indulgent treat, then hot chocolate always goes well with Jameson in coffee. To make this drink, prepare your favorite hot chocolate according to the directions. Then, add around 2oz of Jameson cold brew per 5oz of hot chocolate. Blend with a whisk, before adding your favorite toppings of whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles or marshmallows. For an additional festive touch, you can make a martini rim for your Jameson cold brew hot chocolate using graham crackers. First, dip the rim of your mug in the hot chocolate before dipping in the graham crackers, and it’s ready to enjoy!
Jameson Cold Brew Martini
When it comes to making Jameson cold brew cocktails, you really can’t go wrong with a classic martini made with Jameson cold brew. To make this drink, you will need 2oz of Jameson cold brew, 1oz regular cold brew, and half an ounce of simple syrup, along with ice. Place all the ingredients into your cocktail shaker until blended. Pour into a martini cocktail glass.
Jameson Cold Brew Dalgona
To make this drink, combine two ounces of hot water with two scoops of instant coffee, and add one or two tablespoons of sugar to taste. Mix this until fluffy to make the topping. Then, take a glass and add one ounce of Jameson cold brew combined with three ounces of milk, and mix together to blend. Top with your topping and add a dusting of cinnamon. This is a really versatile recipe, and you can use any kind of milk that you like. Dairy-free milks like oat milk can work very well, but bear in mind that you might need to adjust the sugar as some plant-based milks like coconut milk or rice milk, for example, can be very sweet naturally.
Jameson Cold Brew with Foam
To make this drink, combine double the amount of regular cold brew to the amount of Jameson cold brew that you want, before adding some vanilla syrup and stirring it all together. Then, add ice. Use a French press to whip half and half with vanilla syrup to create a cold foam. Once that’s done, top your drip with the foam and it is ready to enjoy. If you don’t have a French press, an alternative way to make your cold foam is to shake it in a closer mason jar. You can also experiment with adding other flavors if you don’t want vanilla; caramel will work really well.
Jameson Cold Brew White Russian
If you love the creaminess of a White Russian combined with a coffee hit, this could be the perfect drink for you. You will need one ounce of Jameson cold brew, two ounces of vodka, one ounce of milk, half and half, or heavy cream, crushed ice, and an XL ice cube. Combine your Jameson cold brew, vodka, and the crushed ice in a cocktail shaker and shake until blended. Pour into a short, wide glass or whiskey glass and then top with your cream, milk, or half and half. Stir if you like and add your large ice cube. You can use different types of dairy topping for this drink. Full cream is very creamy and indulgent, but milk or half and half will work quite well too if you want a more calorie-conscious version.
Baileys Jameson Cold Brew
Jameson cold brew and Baileys is a flavor combination that won’t disappoint. To make this drink, you will need two ounces of Jameson cold brew, two ounces of cold brew coffee or cooled espresso, and one ounce of Baileys Irish Cream. Add these ingredients with half an ounce of simple syrup and ice into your cocktail shaker and shake until blended. Pour over ice or into a chilled martini glass and enjoy.
The limited-edition Jameson Cold Brew is the perfect combination for anybody who loves both coffee and whiskey. Enjoy it on its own or make it into one of the many cocktail recipe options.
