Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Irish Morning Mocktail
Froth Like a Pro: For that perfect frothy layer, use a milk frother or whisk your cold milk vigorously until it's light and creamy. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can use oat or almond milk as well.
Chill Your Espresso: If you want an extra refreshing drink, chill your espresso before pouring it into the glass. This helps keep the layers distinct and prevents the ice from melting too quickly.
Serve in a Clear Glass: The beauty of this drink lies in its presentation, so use a clear glass to show off the lovely layers of espresso, whiskey, and milk. It adds a visual wow factor to every sip.
