Cooling Down With Baileys Iced Coffee Cocktails

I’m normally hesitant to put anything in my coffee, besides coffee. However, there is one thing that I’ll never hesitate about and that’s Baileys Original Irish Cream. With the weekend right around the corner, I can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday night than testing out these recipes that Bailey’s was kind enough to share.

• 1 1/4 ounces Pampero Rum
• 1/4 ounce Heavy Cream
• 3/4 Egg Yolk

*Coffee Concentrate Syrup: To make a concentrate, you simply need a pound of very coarsely ground coffee, 9 cups of filtered water (filtered, not R.O.), a pitcher, some cheesecloth, and a strainer. The process is very easy. Simply place the pound of coffee in the pitcher, and slowly pour in the 9 cups of water. Allow the mixture to extract for 24 hours. Finally, pour the mixture through the cheesecloth, draped over the strainer. This will filter the coffee concentrate and remove the grounds. To the concentrate add an
equal proportion of Demerara sugar, and stir thoroughly, until sugar is dissolved.
