Irish Cream

Ingredients
  

  • 33 grams coffee liqueur (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 3 grams dark cocoa powder (about 1 1⁄2 teaspoons)
  • 44 grams real vanilla, or 1-3 vanilla beans, split (about 2 ounces)
  • 200 grams granulated sugar (about 1 cup)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 250 grams whiskey (about 1 cup)
  • 250-275 grams cream (about 1 to 1 1⁄4 cup)

Instructions
 

  • Using a scale or measuring cups, pour ingredients from coffee liqueur to whiskey through a funnel into a bottle. You can start by placing the empty bottle with a funnel in it on the scale and hitting tare/zero. Then pouring each ingredient through the funnel and hitting tare on the scale after each ingredient.
  • Place the cap on tightly and shake vigorously for two to three minutes until sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Using the funnel, add the cream. Gently shake the bottle side to side, being careful to not agitate too much and whip.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to use, typically good for three to four weeks.
