Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of alcohol?
Yes, you can substitute Canadian whiskey with Irish whiskey or bourbon for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the overall taste of the drink will change slightly, so choose one that complements the other ingredients.
Is it possible to make this recipe non-alcoholic?
Absolutely! For a non-alcoholic version, replace the whiskey and coffee liqueur with a combination of strong brewed coffee and a flavored syrup like vanilla or hazelnut. This will give you a similar richness without the alcohol.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the drink?
To modify the sweetness, simply adjust the amount of condensed milk you use. You can also add a little sugar or flavored syrup if you prefer it sweeter, or reduce the amount of coffee liqueur for a less sweet option.
