Coffee and whiskey have been a classic pair for a long time. Now, with Jameson’s limited-edition Cold Brew whiskey, combining these two beloved beverages has never been easier. This special whiskey blends Jameson’s signature Irish whiskey with a rich South American coffee blend, creating a new drink experience. While it’s delightful straight from the bottle, it shines when mixed into special recipes. Here are some top picks for the best Jameson Cold Brew coffee recipes to elevate your drink game.
Jameson Cold Brew is crafted in Ireland, blending triple-distilled Jameson Irish Whiskey with natural cold brew coffee made from 100% Arabica beans sourced from Colombia and Brazil. This isn’t just a hint of coffee flavor—it’s the real thing. The cold brew method involves steeping coffee grounds in room temperature water for an extended period, up to 24 hours. This results in a smooth, full-flavored coffee, which complements Jameson’s whiskey perfectly. The final product is a bold, yet smooth whiskey with notes of toasted oak, dark chocolate, and nutty vanilla, finishing with the aroma of coffee.
Each bottle of Jameson Cold Brew has an alcohol content of 30% ABV, a bit lower than the usual 40% ABV you find in regular Jameson whiskey. Each 1.5-ounce serving contains 17 mg of caffeine—equivalent to half an espresso shot—giving you a gentle caffeine buzz without keeping you up all night. With no added sugar, it’s a delightful, guilt-free treat.
So, how should you enjoy it? You can drink it chilled or over ice for the classic whiskey experience, but why stop there? This whiskey is incredible in cocktails. Mix it with cream or milk and ice for a simple yet rich Irish coffee. If you’re in the mood to experiment, here are five delicious Jameson Cold Brew recipes that are easy to make at home:
