This Spiked Dalgona Coffee recipe combines the creamy, frothy texture of whipped dalgona coffee with a delightful kick of spiced rum. Perfect for a unique coffee cocktail experience, it blends instant coffee, sugar, and hot water whipped to a fluffy foam, layered over a chilled mix of milk, vanilla, cinnamon, simple syrup, and spiced rum served over ice.

Ingredients

Whipped Coffee

  • 2 tbsp instant coffee granules
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp warm or hot water

Milk Mixture

  • 1 cup milk or almond milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp simple syrup
  • 1.5 oz (one shot) spiced rum, such as Kraken
  • Ice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Whip the Coffee: In a mixing bowl, whisk together instant coffee granules, granulated sugar, and warm or hot water either by hand or using a hand mixer. Continue whisking until the mixture reaches a thick and fluffy whipped consistency and the color lightens, approximately 3-5 minutes depending on your method. Set this whipped coffee aside.
  2. Prepare Milk Mixture: In a cocktail shaker, combine the milk or almond milk with vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, spiced rum, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously to blend all ingredients well and chill the mixture slightly.
  3. Assemble the Drink: Fill a cocktail glass with ice cubes. Pour the shaken milk mixture over the ice, filling the glass most of the way.
  4. Top with Whipped Coffee: Spoon the whipped coffee over the milk mixture gently to create a layered effect. Serve immediately, and be sure to stir well before drinking to combine the flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or regular dairy milk based on preference.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the spiced rum and add a bit more simple syrup for sweetness.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or simple syrup to suit your taste.
  • The whipped coffee is best enjoyed fresh for optimal fluffiness and texture.
  • Use a hand mixer to save time and effort when whipping the coffee mixture.
