Jameson’s Irish whiskey, demerara syrup, coffee, cream, nutmeg
If you drink one Irish coffee in London, make it this one. The team at Swift take meticulous care when mixing, heating and pouring the blend of coffee, demerara sugar, cream and whiskey. Colombian dark roast beans – sourced from Algerian Coffee Stores just a few doors down the road – give body and depth, and Jameson Caskmates, an Irish whiskey finished in stout barrels, adds malty dark chocolate notes. It’s finished with a light dusting of nutmeg on its creamy top. Drinking this dark, silky concoction in this low-lit basement bar is a London experience made for the winter months – no wonder Swift sells more than 100 glasses of the stuff each week.
