I don’t particularly care for actual pumpkin but I’ve become a huge fan of pumpkin spice (or, more accurately, pumpkin pie spice) ever since I started using it last year.
It is such a versatile spice blend (made with cinnamon, clove, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and mace) that goes with almost everything. Here I whipped a bit of it into the cream that tops this Irish coffee. It turned out to be absolutely delicious, the spice added an unmistakable and wonderfully comforting fall flavor to the coffee and whiskey drink.

Stellar picture! One of my favorites! Also, I’m SO going to make this drink…as soon as I restock my liquor cabinet!
Hey, thanks so much! :)
This is a drink I especially love in the afternoon, when I need the coffee to keep me wake up, but at the same time I want some booth too! It’s interesting to add pumpkin spice into this. Will try out next time! Beautiful picture as usual :)
I drank this Irish coffee after I photographed it in the afternoon and it made editing much more enjoyable! The pumpkin spice adds a lot of flavor and feeling to it, I really like it. Glad you like the pic, thanks, Maggie! :)
Such gorgeous looking pics!
Thank you, Ami! :)
Beautiful picture and great recipe! Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thank you, Francoise! :)
This Irish coffee looks SO good.. definitely the perfect sweet and comforting drink to warm myself up with. Perfect for the fall. Pinned!
It is a really tasty and comforting fall drink, I had another one of these last night! :)
It speaks to the sort of day I’ve had that when I got this in my email, I literally exclaimed, “DAMN RIGHT!” Like you could come make me one on command (which would be….. amazing). Anyway, you know I die for your shadows, and they’re put to particularly good use here to balance the über-crispness of the whipped cream! What lens do you use? Have I asked you this before? Ignore if so…. I would *not* be surprised
Thanks Cheryl! This drink will definitely make a rough day better. (Needless to say if you were closer I’d bring you one in a heartbeat :)). I use an older version of this lens: AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens. The version I have is no longer being sold.
Outstanding image.
Thanks so much, Bob! So nice to hear from you, hope all is well! :)
