Just as the K-cup boiled down coffee making to the flip of a wrist, it is now providing boozy hot drinks in the same simple manner.
Cask & Kettle is billed as the only hard coffee cocktail on the market. Everything needed for the cocktail is in the K-cup, including the alcohol. All you have to do is pop a single serve cup into your brewing system. You can also open up the K-cup and add hot water, but … c'mon, man, we don't have that kind of time! The product is decaf, gluten-free and fully recyclable.
Flavors include Irish Coffee, Mint Patty, Mexican Coffee, Hot Blonde Coffee and Spiked Dry Cider. They are hot cocktails, perfect for cooler months, but they can also work as iced coffee drinks for warmer weather.
The publicity team tells me that Cask & Kettle - based in Temperance, Michigan - is owned and operated by women, and is certified by the Women's Business Enterprise.
Irish Coffee
This smells awesome while it is making. No coffee needed, no booze - it's all in the K-cup, all except the whipped cream. Tastes just like the Irish coffees I used to have at Tom Bergin's on Fairfax. Cooling it off for a drink that's enjoyable in the summer is a workable idea, too. I added some of my wife's refrigerated coffee creamer to mine. The pod is 38% abv.
Mexican Coffee
Tequila, vodka and dark coffee notes join with a hint of Mexican chocolate to provide a sweet drink with a south-of-the-border flair. The pod is 30% abv.
Hot Blonde Coffee
The vodka is barely noticeable behind the coffee and vanilla. There is a great mocha note as well. The pod is 37% abv.
Mint Patty Coffee
This one is vodka-based, too. It tastes like a boozy thin mint laced with dark chocolate. Put some whipped cream on this one. The pod is 37% abv.
